Default Rank TSP Duals mufflers! Not another which is the best...

There are some threads on this but its kinda jumbled and harder to follow because they all just ask which is the best thought this might make a good source on the kit. Rank the TSP true dual mufflers. I should be getting some this winter as long as they fit on my old style QTP LT's from what I have heard they will fit on any header.

So lets hear it: Dynomax Bullets, Sweet Thunders, Moroso Spiral Flows.

I'm too lazy to go through all that mess but I'll just say I've ran the TSP system on customers cars with all the available types of mufflers they offer. By far my favorite is the bullets, and my customers agree.

I have the spiral flows on my TD setup and believe me they are still loud! My brother has the bullets on his setup. I haven't heard the sweet thunders. One of my friends down the street said he can here my car idling from like 4 blocks away.
Here a sound clip of my spiral flow setup
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Tc1Qyi1Wc8

My brothers dynomax bullet setup
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atRfN...eature=related

Loud
1) Dynomax Wake the dead
2) Spiral flow Wake the sleeping

Deeper tone
I'm gonna give the dynomax & spiral flows a tie they are both deep

Cleaner sound
1) Spiral Flow
2) Dynomax

When I had the TSP TDs, I had the Spirals cuz almost nobody had them, but the one vid I heard I fell in love. So I bought them and couldn't be happier.

My personal opinion is that there are better choices out there, I've tried to contact texas a few times to see if i can just buy the kit, without the mufflers. I think magnaflow, borla or flowmaster muffler would sound much better with true duals.

"but they dont flow as well!!!!"

Shhut the hell up, it wont net you a noticeable loss

I would recommend the dynomax bullet over the other selections. I have them on my car and I am really happy. It gives the car a much lower base tone rumble then something like a borla or corsa muffler. This system is meant for power not sound, that is why we use a bullet style muffler on them.

unless anyone here can produce actual flow numbers, anything we say regarding which one flows better is a guess at best. I liked the Spiral Flow sound better, so that's what I chose.

I really wish there was a way to hear these mufflers all on the same car. One car, three different mufflers, same camera/ filming distance and everything. This way we wouldnt be hearing any differences in cameras, or someone whos video is filmed under the car while another is far away from it and another is inside it... and one has a 408 with a blower while one is a bolt on car with a MS4 and the third is a completely stock one.

Same day, same car, same filming conditions, just different mufflers. I think this would aid in the selection process better than one persons opinion of one muffler, while they have never heard any of the others.

I would like to donate my car to TSP for this project
