Lets talk exhaust

Got a link to where you got your exhaust tip from? Curious to see the options and size you went with. Im thinking of going with a 4" diamater tip.

I have not bought the tip yet, I do not have much room for a tip since my muffler sits angled.
But this is the tip I would buy since it is the shortest 3" tip I could find:

I have seen a pic of it, it is just a normal decent looking round chrome tip.

From Ive seen, a 4" outlet tip is the biggest Id like to go.

Lol, I am trying to find my cam, dunno where it is. But I have NO room for a tip. So they used a 3" truck tip they had laying around and cut it for me lol. It doesnt look too good but it is better than no tip.
For you, it will be MUCH easier since no turbo will be in the way. But def get that flowmaster tip. It is short and should fit perfectly.

So I hate drone. Can't stand it, makes the car sound like a ricer.
I currently have a RMT setup with a flowmaster strait through muffler (maybe magnaflow?). I also have a budget ypipe with the stock cat. It drones from 1300-2300 rpm's I am ALWAYS at that range in the city so I am getting very tired of the noise.
I want ZERO, i mean ZERO drone. I do not want to sacrifice too much power for that. From my research in the past, an equal length exhaust (equal length ypipe/headers for us) will result in no drone but I was never able to confirm. Can you guys?
If I can get by w/o buying the $800+ Cattman headers, that would be nice. Any good, high flowing mufflers you guys know of? It would have to be a 3" inlet. I will look into having an equal length ypipe made if anyone can confirm my theory posted earlier. I need to wrap my 2.5" bpipe but that will not do much for the noise.

To me my exhaust wasnt loud, streetz is the king of loud/ drony exhausts (and his auto's long gears doesnt help it either, although his CURRENT setup is surely nice lol). To me it sounded just fine. But anyways, droning is a muffler issue. You currently have a Magnaflow muffler. I'd do as he recommends and go for a Dynomax. I'd stick another 3" dynomax though, not 2.5" (too much power compromised). But then again, you do have a cutout anyways .
My friend, my advice is going with what I used to have/still have. 3" in/out dynomax superturbo muffler, with a 24" resonator on the B pipe, and leave the normal ypipe, eddy had equal length ypipe/headers and that **** was still loud/drone although he denies it lol. With my setup my car had ZERO drone. Magnaflow 24" resonators are good thats the first one I had but failed internally, then i got some nonnamebrand but same size, was still as quiet, then the dynomax muffler.
Right now I dont have a resonator at all, no cat, nothing, just the turbo and muffler, and still dont get too much drone, i do but not as bad as urs id bet you. Ofcourse when ever you want to reduce sound you are restricting airflow as well, but you cant have everything u kno. The trick for my turbo to spool up very very fast is not having anything (no resonators, or cars) before the turbo and everything wrapped, the resonator did affect spool up, but I was like 2 years without knowing that till i took it off, its not that big of a deal specially since your 5sp, so throw in a 24" or 26" straight thru res, and dynomax. you'll be happy.

Def get a dynomax! It should get rid of the problem

Good info guys, thanks.
However I couldnt find a Magnaflow in a 3" and I wanted to get tha parts quickly to try and get it done in the next week or so, so I bought a generic Yonaka 22" resonator. It was super cheap, so if it sounds like dookie I will just deal with it untill I can find a good one and replace it.
