    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.

    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.
