You have neither a main cat nor a resonator? That could very well be a lot of your problem.

My exhaust setup has 2" headpipes from the engine to the AR20 resonators. 2" pipes from each resonator to a dual 2" inlet Magnaflow 94037 main cat with a 2.5" outlet. 2.5" pipe from the resonator into an AR25 resonator, then 2.5 " pipe back to a Bullet transverse muffler.

Super quiet at idle, with just a hint of deep resonance; and very quiet under light acceleration. Under heavy acceleration, it is deep and strong, without any resonant droning or harshness.

(Later replaced the AR20 resonators with Magnaflow small cats because of an OBDII issue. Sound has not changed)










Sounds almost exactly like this comparison video by AWD, Inc., who installed the bullet muffler.
