They might lower the decibel level a bit. They seem to quiet the idle and light throttle more and have less impact on the heavier throttle noise.
I use straight-thru mufflers ahead of the axle and then bullets behind the axle. Makes for a good combo. I can cruise and listen to the radio, drive around the neighborhood and around town without getting the wrong kind of attention. But when I get on it, it cracks pretty good.
And for that extra measure of fun, I also have Doug's cut-outs.
Master, again and still

those on my car are about 12" long, on 2.5" exhaust pipes. they are summit brand with louvered baffles inside.
the link was for you!
Yea I am just worried going that short isn't going to have as much of an effect as something like your 12" ones. Gues their is only one way to find out though.....

The round rear mufflers on a Cuda/Challenger were about 19" long bodied. You should have room for at least 16" of resonator, plus the OE mufflers were 7" diameter. Maybe you need to have a set of new tail pipes bent?? I can build you some resonators...
I was trying to get away with out modifing the tail pipes that I have. Just cut out the flat section that is available and put a resinator in its place, which is around 8".
I will look at it some more, would rather not go that way unless I have to.

if all you have is that particular 8 inches of space.
Before cutting your existing exhaust system,
make custom 8 inch resonators
and temporarily attach them as exhaust tips
to see if they give you the drone reduction you require.
Ding ding ding I do believe we have a winna
Thats not possible when the tips are welded to the exhaust pipe, that is just the way they are on a TTI system

Is the problem that the pipe over the axle comes down too low and then has to go back up to meet the tip going through the rear pan? Which only leaves that small straight to fit a resonator into?
The surest fix would be to cut out a section of the over the axle pipe behind the axle and move the last turn up to where it more closely aligns with the tip. You will need to remove or change the curves going to the tip, but this will move the resonator up towards the heat shield and make room for a longer resonator.
You will either have to do something like that or else put a much shorter glass pack in the short straight you have now and hope it is enough.

Yes that is exactly what the problem is. I would rather not cut and start welding / changing the over the axle curve just because it looks nice and clean now. I guess if it comes to that I would problably get entire new pipes made from muffler to tip.
The short bullets aren't to expensive so it doesn't cost much to try. I was just hoping someone had tried bullets that short to give me some feed back.
