You want a silencer that is 4 inches with a 1 3/4 inch center tube. Those are the dimentions of mine and it still sounds good but not overly loud. I'm gonna search for a link now for ya.

Here is a link to the one I used. I cut off the small section to increase flow. It's $15.99 plus shipping.

you can just put these on and off right?
there's no bolting necessary or whatever?

and yeah the only thing i'm concerned with is the sound. it's pretty loud.. so with this silencer will it make it back to the sound of stock? or a little deeper than stock?

thanks for ur help man

Mine ended up being just slightly louder than stock. You can tell you have an exhaust but it is not annoyingly load like it was.
To mount this you only need to drill one hole in the Strup for the mounting bolt/nut/lockwasher.
When you are done remember to paint the inside of the tip with high heat flat black paint to make it look finished. It will blend in and make the baffle almost invisible. Good luck and keep this thread update with your results please.

You need someone to hold it in the center of the hole as you tighten down the clamp. You can still adjust it by loosening the bolt, holding it in the right position then re tighten. Hopefully you catch it before it gets to damaged.

Nope, just loosen, adjust then re tighten while some one holds it in the right spot.
