The other reason is because of the use of the larger 3" valves that have the full-flow of a cutout, which is essentially what they are, just directing the flow of exhaust to the muffler instead of straight out the outer pipe to the tip.

One of the benefits I see (HEAR) is that the exhaust flow going into a larger dual-path crossflow muffler is further canceling exhaust pulse raspy sound and giving me deeper tones that are rounded and smooth sounding... especially when I am just barely lifting the throttle off cruise and it gives this wicked smooth bumble sound I cannot explain with words alone.

I am working diligently to make this a kit and also slammed with Gale-force winds at the shop due to the Nor-Easter storms heading South and meeting up with the Hurricane that just broke all records, heading North!! Being close by the Atlantic but worse having three major rivers that drain from all the Smokey Mountains and Carolinas through our back yard... its hard to keep focused.
Damn you're good with word play lol, is it a valved system or not lol. Like can I use the mode button to make it quieter, or louder.

Here is what the valves look like. I did not take a photo of the inside of the valve, so I snagged a shot of their 3" valve for a truck which is the same one used for the Camaro. Its important to note that not every company making NPP exhaust systems use anything much larger than the OEM 2" valve. I had to swap out my ZL1 actuators for the Cadillac Escalade ones which use a spring just like the Hellcat and Demon.

Rather than replacing my two clamp-on Kooks AB mufflers, why not put a single reaonator in the main pipe before the AB? I'm uncertain of the diameter.

That is what I did with the Magnaflow that was cut up to be installed to the mid-pipe.
