ROFL, you both are ridiculous. I'm in AFG. I just help make our various death machines and personnel even better death machines using networks. Our PSDS2/PGSS/PTDS balloons do a good job of giving battlefield commanders a great view of what's going on. Reapers are the shizzle, and now we can extend networking through portable radios. Send 9 lines that sync with GPS location, and simplify the process.

I'm a net admin lol. I make networks go vroom... reliably

It may not translate to your application fully, but from what I've heard about the Motordyne XYZ pipe, the resonator option is slightly quieter than the HFC option and doesn't add any restriction vs a straight pipe. So removing the resonator and adding an HFC section probably won't make it any quieter than it already is if loudness is your main concern, unless you go for something really high cell count, which would be pretty restrictive.
Another possibility is getting a resonated Y-pipe. Off the top of my head, I know Motordyne and Litespeed both offer them. Motordyne's section can be switched for straight piped or HFC, and Litespeed offers in both SS and Ti.

This might be a stupid question/statement. But i just got rid of my stillen exhaust and installed the MXP true dual exhaust on it. It wasn't a huge change in sound but one that I noticed and liked. My only question is...is a true dual better or worse?

TDX provides greater flow, which theoretically, should increase power up top. However, there is a little loss of back pressure, which theoretically, can impact torque at the lower end. Generally speaking, people will argue that a TDX is better than non-TDX (from a performance standpoint).

That's 60mm pipe right? Any chance you could measure the pipe with a caliper? I'm curious if its OD or ID.

I've decided to build my own cbe but can only find 2.5" OD which is 60mm ID. But if yours is 60mm OD my low end will get killed.

Deja Vu? I think so.

Simple answer is cats need heat to work. The closer to the engine the more effective they will be. Since all you care about is sound and not emissions putting it in the mid-pipe should still yield the desired effect.

Thank you! What I thought.

In response to your blue

"You think it's too loud, most of us think now "He doesn't want cats, it's too loud, okay... Resonator then is a good recommendation" "

I have no idea if its to loud. Hence the thread being called "setup and cat question?" Why would more resonators be a good recommendation if the setup would already have 4??? Hence the idea about ONE cat, ONLY!! If the setup is to loud for me. Common sence to me says "I removed 2 cats, setups to loud, I already have 4 resonators, how bout a hfc cat since that's what was keeping the car quite before or what keeps other cars somewhat quite with dual hfc setups. Also you quoted saying I want to keep cost down. WHY TELL ME BUY A $500 Y pipe when I have one free in my CBE kit???? Not to mention you tell me to buy their hfc too! That's more than my whole CBE!! A 70mm hfc is $100 off a ton of sites and I'd be set. See why your comment is so stupid now in my eyes and why I'd ask if you read the OP?

"( WTF?!? Why is OP asking about the part he says he doesn't want?)"

Again, only if my "FEELING" of it being to loud is correct. Since its a feeling and I have no idea if ill hate it or not. I had a question about where to install a cheap, simple, fast, easy, $100 hfc fix. It had nothing to really do with if it would quieting it down because I'd assume 95% that it would. Was just wondering if the cat would work there. Yes, even though I don't care about pollution as i said, I was still curious if it'd work in the mid pipe so far away from the motor.

PS you gave no help, thanks. And yes my stuff will be busted since I don't make anything like reversed FMIC setups, AOS's, custom fuel lines, exhausts etc etc. guess I should just stop now. O, and I forgot the under side of my car needs to be so damn pretty since this is what 304ss looks like after being in ohio hahaha, yeah my care meters real high on that one

I have no idea what you're talking about. I know what a cat is and what I test pipe is.
