Install the bullets at the end of the pipes, no tail pipe at all.
Make every pipe as straight as possible
My Duster has the Magna Flow 3x14 ovals mounted at the rear bumper with three inch pipes from the headers straight back to the muffs with minimal bends, the car slows down .04 ET in the 1/8 mile and about .25 MPH with the muffs and pipes on versus no muffs and pipes on
the car ran a average of 6:98 (five runs)with no exhaust and a average(6 runs on saturday with identicle weather on both days) 7:02 with the muffs and pipes on
the car is relitively quiet at part throttle in the car and people say it sounds real good going down the track at WOT, it is quiet a bit louder in the car at WOT
