Question about TD's I have TSP TD's w pacesetter LT's. Problem is that I am a constant target for police because my car is very loud.. Will extending em out back be a difference? Or is it not worth the trouble and money? Im looking for an alternative route to go without having to switch the exhaust, because the TD's hands down sound best, and I cant get rid of them, I just need my car to be a bit quieter.

hmm
well
I really dont feel like spending another $150 on different mufflers... I really dont mind the sound, my dad does... Is there anything I can do to make him shutup about it without spending $150?

there are some things in JEGs called '' Vortex insert cones '' by dynatech , they insert in the end of your muffler i believe and quiet it some , ive never used them but that may be something you will be interested in . other than that , yes extending out the back will quiet it , i had the same problem and after no bites on selling my true duals i reinstalled and ran it over the axle out the back , the best thing i did , its quieter now but not catback quiet , still loud but its just right for me , sounds great with bullets though i may try flowmaster 1ch in the future . i did all my own work but if your strapped for cash and cant do your own fab work id say get a price on under the axle out the back , you can find many post on this , or try the inserts .

what i want louder?? what muffler? and yes i do not have LTs yet

I have 18 inch bullet mufflers. I dont want to change the tone of my exhaust, because I love how it sounds plus I know that the setup I have gives it the most horsepower out of any setup. This kind of pisses me off that I have to do this, but I think I might bring itout back and buy those vortex cone things. BTW will SLP chrome tips look good?

I can't imagine you being a "constant target for cops" unless you drive like a douche all the time, every time. I've had TDs for over a year in my cammed SS, and I've never even had a cop look twice at me about them. Thousands of other TD guys would likely say the same thing.
Instead of spending stupid money to modify the exhaust, why not just modify your right foot a tad?

I am getting extremely tired of my TSP Catted Y and LM set up. I am considering going to a TSP TD set up just because its simple. I run stock height and i still have terrible clearance. I cant imagine tds being any worse.
The only thing that i am concerned with is the sound. Or the loudness, rather. Sweet thunders are the way to go? As far as the right foot mod, im a 1st 3rd 5th driver b/c i try my hardest to squeeze 18mpg in town. has anyone else ever compared the loudness of a LT catted Y LM set up to a true dual set up?
Also, the drone...how bad compared to my set up?
