Boosted Exhaust recomendation
Hi, I am new to the forums. I purchased an ap1 that was already boosted. I have revised the fuel system and re-tuned it. I am considering dumbing it down so i can enjoy it on the street more.
I am currently running a 3in straight pipe turbo back. Currently the exhaust has a vband to turbo then another vband after a flex section to just under the cab so it may fit a factory designed cat-back or testpipe back.
Any recommendations such as should i just have a universal muffler wielded in and perhaps a resonator or should i look at a redesigned single like HKS etc?.
I would like to maintain the somewhat deeper sound if possible. Right now i cant even hear the blow off valve its so loud. it does sound good just extremely loud for the streets.

I have the T1R 70-EM Duals and absolutely love them. They are however, quite restrictive in a F/I application, and started robbing me of power in the 475whp range. To remedy this, I have a boost actuated cutout under the car that opens @ 5PSI. It provides the best of both worlds IMO.

Just get what ever muffler you want for the back. Make sure it a straight through 3 inch muffler and get a pair of vibrant 3 inch resonators for the middle of the car. That’s what I have and it pretty quiet and sounds good.

Thanks folks. Im going to order some parts next week.
Also anyone have any issues with V-Band clamps? i seam to be getting extensive exhaust coming into the cab. I dont think the filter is in place but that wouldn't stop exhaust regardless.
Im going to run a bit of seamfoam through the intake manifold until it starts blowing some smoke so i can pinpoint where the exhaust is coming from under the hood but im sure it will be from the V-Band clamp.

will these fit in the exhaust valley? or is there a different resonator I should choose. Also im looking at the HKS carbon Ti universal muffler. I would like a quiet one but don't want to impede performance dramatically
