    .: Exhaust Modification Corner :.

    exhaust gas cools off rapidly as it goes from extractor to the tailpipe, u can lightly touch the tailpipe on hot days but definitely not the header on any day :) reason: - cooler exhaust is denser therefore heavier and slower - also exhaust velocity increases with temperature, so cooler...

    .: Exhaust Modification Corner :.

    most probably it. ur bullet formed an anti-reversion system at low exhaust speed. actually u would find that ur power overall will be reduced by removing just the bullet coz wave tuning is spoilt without it. wave tuning is the key to exhaust performance :)

    .: Exhaust Modification Corner :.

    possible sources: the pecah sound can come from the 3"-4" muffler, this type of muffler acts like a hailer/trumpet (small mic to big wide flared mouth to widen and amplify the sound) so any noise from engine will be amplified when it goes out the 4" mouth, and uve got 2" piping going to 3" and...

    4-2-1? 4-1? Extractors broken down!

    oval type resonator will be better coz it has more packing for noise absorption, u can get a midbox if u like for better dampening. What matters is the internal pipe volume being large enough to trick the engine into thinking it is dumping exhaust into the "atmosphere" due to that large diameter...

    4-2-1? 4-1? Extractors broken down!

    yes the back pipe after resonator does not matter in terms of wave tuning, just need to make sure it flows properly smaller/stock pipe at the back can be good since exhaust cools down a lot as it travels out and cooler exhaust is denser thus slower so it does not do good to N/A. smaller back...

    4-2-1? 4-1? Extractors broken down!

    how about: use the 4-2-1 u mentioned if ur exhaust system has to go a tight 90 degree bend before the bullet, use 2.5" 90 degree elbow and constrict it to 2" after about 10" length, continue 2" piping to bullet. if ur exhaust system is quite straight from header to bullet, use 2" instead...
