they look horrible though, if you could get a smalled tip it would look much better.

I have one of the standard XFORCE twin tip mufflers on mine (3" inlet), so minus the adjustable butterfly.

I think it sounds great and seems to flow OK too.

My exhaust is bubbling when gearing down. What is the cause of that?

Myn does it to.. Just depends on the flow of your exhaust

What do you mean bu "bubbling"??

Like a popping sound??

If by "bubbling" you mean popping and spluttering, it is likely unburnt fuel burning in the cat. This is mostly related to the mixture. It's nothing to worry about unless it is overly rich in which case it can damage your cat. With the factory ECU, I find mine tends to stop once the engine is up to temperature because it cuts fuel completely after ~0.5 secs of coasting.

I have a twin-tip Varex on my 3" TBE and it is amazing what a difference there is to throttle/turbo response when opening and closing the butterfly-valve.

yes, popping and spluttering is spot on. This happens all the time. I mean, don't get me wrong it's cool. But after a while it becomes a little annoying.

As said, its the excess fuel being burnt off in the exhaust...

Either change the exhaust or change the fuelling so there is less over run when you back off the throttle...
