Default Another exhaust question

Hi All

I'm changing my cat header for a Jackpot 2-1-2 ceramic header and I am looking for a 4" slip-on with the same type tone as the SE 65115-10 thunder street muffler. I know mufflers will be louder without the cat. I just don't want to loose low end grunt.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Have you tried the 4" Jackpot slip-ons?

Why get rid of the 65115's? What's a 1/2 inch difference?

(that's what she said...dough!)

Try the old muffs with the header change, see what they sound like.
Then you can make a move if you feel the need. They don't call en "slip-ons" for nothing.

Good advice. You are going to like that header. I have the non-ceramic version and I was pleased with the construction an fitment.

I also have the pro-touring mufflers. Like the sound they make, kinda unique.

Good luck with your project.
