Blitz3rs,
Using 3" straight piping is best for a turbo charged engine but the noise created will attract too much attention, you don't want to wake up your entire neighbourhood when returning late at night after TT, do you?.
The 510 do not have a recess in it's floor pan for a bullet hence if you put one in there then the chances for it to hit a speed bump will always be there. Use a muffler as big as it will fit, big mufflers usually means it has more fiber material for sound dampening. On my 510 I do not have a bullet but I do have a an adjustable valve installed just after the downpipe. This valve is a self-made thingy and it's made from parts taken from a manifold throttle body valve that can be regulated from inside the cabin with a cable attached to it to dampen the volume of noise. I have the valve installed but do not have the cable link attached to it yet but plan to do so at a later stage. I do not plan to have the valve closed at all except when the authoritise are around or when I drive pass my neighbourhood. The muffler I have is not big compared to what's available in the market but it is as big as it can fit under the car, I also have a silencer inserted into the muffler and yet I think it's loud. So if anyone wants to hear who has a louder exhaust, tell me about it and let's compete and mine would come up to be in the top-5.
