Never tried the centre though.Have full custom stainless steel dumped at the diff now, not really droney, just extremly tough!

Both Mufflers are quite restrictive. Also if you keep the rear muffler standard your less likely to give away modds.OzzieYeh true!Im looking at making flanges up so he can unbolt the pipes and put the muffler back on if need be.
