The sound quality form 1,000 to 3,000 when the flap is closed is quite a nice performance sound IMHO. I "have" to find a solution for 0 to 1,000 flap control, otherwise ill be welding in some Ultraflo Bullets were the cats used to be.
Why not just race cats? Quiets the idle, and the smell. I ran no cats for about one week, then washed all my clothes and put cats on. I couldn't take the exhaust smell with no cats.
