Just order the side pipe header and side pipes , either run them wide open or also add a side pipe muffler insert like the Max Flo .
So basically you need three pieces,two for sure
1 side pipe header .
2 side pipe ( the part that actually burns your legs) .
3 your done OR add a Muffler insert that installs inside the side pipe if it’s too loud
