Default Does this sound like a good exhaust setup?

Stainlessworks long tubes, high flow cats (Magnaflows?) to single 3" w/ a Borla XR-1 dumped over the rear axle. Input please....?

I tow occasionally, but mainly looking for a more aggressive sound. Not planning on FI, so I didn't think duals were necessary. Never done exhaust before, just read a little bit. Do muffler shops have mandrels for the bends, or is mandrel bent exhaust typically found only on bolt-on kits?

Also, I read somewhere there is a sound difference on dumped exhaust w/ and w/o a tip. What's the difference in sound?

That should sound nice. maybe kinda drone prone with the dumping tho.

If you take it to a general muffler shop, you won't get mandrel bends.

No way around the drone with dumped exhaust?

definitely NO WAY around the drone with dumps, but a single side exit would sound nice, and look good with a Magnaflow tip

Dump it further towards the bumper, it makes all the difference in the drone and you'll still have the same look.

Will Dynamat eliminate the drone, or at least reduce it significantly?
