Dean,

Your comment about Vortec cone ahead of the mufflers is exactly why I opted to apply the Car Chemistry 3 disc inserts ahead of the Dynomax bullets.

I have heard the Vortec cones do nothing. The CC inserts seem to have documented reduction qualities.

You are also right about the coating. I thought I'd just paint mine for a while, until I am satisifed. I also will put a collector bolt flange at the collector end in order to allow me to change the setup if it is too loud or conversely, too restrictive.

I have read your entire saga and decided to copy much of what you'd done. You sound today, less satisfied than initially (?). I suspected you were pretty loud and added the inserts to my copy of your activities. I am, of course, guessing the Dynomax 3" ID bullets in a 23.5"length are similar to your SS mufflers...
