Right now I have one of Ben's 1 in, 1 out and it's perfect... Am I right Ben, there's no way you can have the same noise level with the 1 in and 2 out as my M&K 1 in and 1 out in this through the bumper configuration?
The quick easy fix for that is a plug. I have Ben's 2in 2out and with both pipes open it is too loud for an enjoyable cruise. Most of the time I have a plug in the second pipe and it quiets it down so that it is civil. In 30 seconds I can pull the plug out and it sounds great on the track or car show. I painted the inside of my plug flat black with BBQ grill paint so it is nearly invisible when installed.

I suspect you could fab up a plug for one pipe of this system if it was too loud. Or how about one of those electric/pneumatic systems that some newer cars are using to open valves in exhaust systems?

I would so do it if I was in Ben's neck of the woods.
