I think the dual resonated pipe would work the best.

I tried getting a flanged cc insert from brice about 6 months ago and after 2 months he realized they did not make one that fit our car. I would have had to have it wielded in. Maybe something changed. I like the idea of the flanged insert, in for the street and out for the track. It could be changed in 5 minutes and you dont need an extra pipe around the garage. Oh, the exhaust gaskets he supplies are nice but get some extra hardware, I have had several exhaust bolts get damaged.

Speaking from experience, Team?

Looking at them I don't know how they wouldn't be a huge restriction in the exhaust path if you just stuck one in your existing pipe. Placing a larger CC insert inside a muffler body/resonator that was larger than the exhaust might work out alright.

It has changed we do have flanged inserts in stock currently, we addressed the issue of it not working properly.

If you want to get a quiter system and kill performance, why not get an Catalysator?

never heard anyone who used them recommend them, throw in rotary engine exhaust flow at high rpm relative to pipe size and Capt. Obvious will make an appearance

The AP is a loud cat-back compared to others like the Borla or Racing Beat.
You can always sell or trade the cat-back.
