I am thinking about the Dynomax Race Bullets or the Summit Racing Equivelants. Anyone install these? How do they sound?? Loud or not??

I mean the car has a turbo, so the exhaust is quieted down alot anyway right?? The car is really quite now with the factory system.

1985.5 stock car with 39200 miles.

I am scheduled to get a 3" down pipe and complete new system next Saturday (April 23rd), so any recommnedations would be great. Thanks. ! !

Well, I dunno what they're like through tailpipes, but I had Dynomax bullets with dumps on my Turbo Coupe for about a week (3" DP, no cat) and they sounded like crap. Way too loud. I now have Hooker Maximum Flows which do more muffling of the nasty sounds and I think they sound pretty damn good. And they're still pretty loud even through tailpipes.

NE1 put the regular glasspacks on there ride before?? The race bullets sound too extream for me. What about the Thrush Glasspacks?? 2.5 in and out and they go straight through. Anyone try these??

Glasspacks sound like ass on a 2.3T...get a magnaflow if you are for performance, Flowmaster 40 if you don't mind losing 2-3hp for the best sound.

70Mach, like you say, you don't need much muffling with a turbo. I'd stick with a straight-through type though; something that would help to extract the gases. I have a Moroso Spiral Flow on my Bronco, that works well.

These work well with turbos, I've heard. They're expensive though.
