i installed my TSP Rumbler X with Bullets and Kooks 1-7/8ths about 3 weeks ago. it is much louder and more "pronounced" than it ever was. i get looks and comments all the time. i do however think my neighborhood association might be having a problem with this, lol.

also good to see UMI tq arm will fit. i need one.

SLP Longtube Headers (horrible clearance)
Custom 3" X-Pipe
Sweet Thunder Chambered Mufflers

When i first got the sweet thunders, i was putting them in place of Magnaflow 4x9s. So in the beginning i thought they had a great idle and awesome sound at WOT. But then one day i took off my entire system and ran open headers for a few months. Now my sweet thunders don't seem to be enough anymore. Im probably going to change them out in the near future to either dynomax bullets or flowmaster 1 chambered.

Not too sure that you are going to find anything that compares to open headers........

Thats what sucks, even straight pipes to the rear will never compare to open headers. I thought about it yesterday and thought about just taking off my sweet thunders and getting SLP Shotgun Resonators. Like that it will almost be like a true dual version of the SLP Loudmouth. And everyone with LTs and cams say those things are loud as hell, i feel thats the best chance i got with having the exhaust out the back and being close to open headers.

Well I finished my DIY dual exhaust set-up Consists of : jegs 3" X-pipe kit and moroso spiral flows. It sounds amazing just a little bit of clearance issues though. Here are a couple of crappy pics from my phone. I think I am going to have the mufflers come straight out out the back similar to the Tsp set-up that was I can tuck the mufflers up in along the driveline tunnel.

Any sound clips Eatinstang4life?? It does look like it hangs a little too low to the ground at the tips though.

If your going to use those U bolt things, it would be a good idea to atleast turn them sideways so the bolts don't face downward. I guarantee your going to think most of the time that its your exhaust hitting the ground, when its actually the bolts whacking whatever it is you drove over.
