do you have tailpipes? if so i'd take them off and let the mufflers flow. theres alot of drone with it but it sounds much better imo. but everyone likes different sounds. i had no dumps coming from my mufflers though it was just the muffler outlet so all the exhaust was resonating off the rear axle. sounded pretty tight when you go under an overpass and punch it

ps: this is when i had flowmaster 40's on the 89 awhile back. not the turbo muffs.

You can lose low end torque with straight pipes.
