Default Exhaust Junkies come in

So Ive been wanting to quiet down my exhaust as much as possible and Re-do the whole set up with a cutout for when I want to be loud. I want to hear what you guys think..

I want to do 2.5" off the LTs into these 2.5" Dummy cats, http://www.siliconeintakes.com/produ...1ecabc6be18d13

then from there into a 2.5" IN, 3" OUT Magnaflow Y pipe: http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...e=main&id=8495

After the Y pipe will be the 3" cutout. I was looking at DMH, Anything better than DMH for the price?

And then finish out with single 3" the rest of the way out.

I wanted to run the stock muffler but it is to long since i have my exhaust exiting in front of the rear tire, The shop said the biggest body muff i can run is a 20". Who makes the quietest 20" for a decent price? Magnaflow? I found a couple that should be pretty quiet here are the links

Dynomax:

Magnaflow:

Id go with a magnaflow also, and from what i have heard DMH has very nice cutouts, im going to run them when i redo my exhaust. Im going to modify my stock cats to basically what you posted in the first link...cut them off, weld in a section of straight pipe then weld them back up. Im glad im not the only crazy person who wants a quiet exhaust for just driving around, haha. Should turn out well man.

Do the collectors into the dummy cats, then into a 3inch Y into a 3 in 3 out or 3 in dual 2.5 out muffler and mount the cut out before the muff.. BAM
