I'd like to find an x-pipe, big perforated core resonators, and big perforated core mufflers ending in dual 3" tips. Does anybody make such a thing? Based on my search of the forum, manufacturer's sites, and the Web in general, here's what I found: B&B - great quality, great performance but also rather loud (X-pipe no resonators, straight-through perforated core type mufflers) and relatively expensive. Brullen - good quality, lots of configurations (all I've seen is H-pipe, but I've heard they also offer X-pipe, polished or painted, with or without resonators, leading to a choice of mufflers that are either straight through absorption {high flow} or baffles {quiet, but less flow}). ATR - offers two setups: Their quiet version ("cross-flow") combines left and right with a "Y-pipe" after the cats so a single 3" pipe goes into a single large muffler (which I'd guess uses baffles rather than absorption). This muffler has pipes exiting on either side leading to rectangular tips. Their "loud" version resembles the B&B (X-pipe, no resonators), and is said to be for off-road use only. Jasma - available in Australia/Japan, manufactured by Trust, uses a Y pipe similar to the ATR approach. Thermal - mentions a 3" turbo exhaust in their ads, but I think that's for single pipe applications. Their Z stuff -- as far as I can tell -- is all 2.5" Stillen and Borla - only 2.5" Have I left anything out? These are 3" stainless only, so nothing from Greddy, HKS or APEXi is included.
