Anyone have Stillen Y, Aftermarket B, and stock muffler/cat?

Does anyone have this or a similar setup on their car? I tried to search but was not successful. I'm thinking about doing this myself. Looking for a nice deep tone that can barely be heard inside the car at highway speeds (75-85 MPH). I am aware of the Courtasy and Stillen B-pipe. I forget which has no resonator for a louder sound. I need to know how it sounds. The buzzing that I get from the Stillen Y is fine with me since it only happens at WOT at high engine RPM.

I have a similar setup to this, I ahve the Stillen intake and y-pipe, and the stock b-pipe with the resonator cut out, and the stock muffler. It made a nice deep sound at idle and under light acceleration, if you accelerate hard the intake drounds it out, and on the highway you won't notice it at all.

Thanks for your post. Do you have any details on cutting out the resonator on the stock B? This may be worth doing if any muffler shop can do it for cheap. Let me know.

I have PR CAI, Cattman-Y, RT cat, Stillen B, & the stock muffler. It is quiet during normal driving. Upon hard acceleration, I hear the CAI the most. The exhaust, while mellow, is a bit on the harsh side. Not loud, but it could be smoothed out a bit. I think this is because of the resonator-less Stillen b-pipe.

Hopefully my Apex'i that is on order will cure this problem.

Yeah, any local muffler shop should be able to do it for like $30-40, I had mine done at the local Midas and it took them about 25 minutes to get it done.
