td vs catback hey guys im really torn between getting either TSP True Rumbler X true duals system 3" or ORY and hooker catback.
Ive done searches and im not getting answers i need like, will i go deaf or get tinitus by dumping a 3 " exhaust right before the axle??
I really cant stand drone or vibrations,..and as for running it all the way to the back, will it quiet it much down? what is the cost of going all the way to the back in installation cost? on a tight budget here.
As for the ORY & Hooker setup, will it cause that raspy sound without cats?
Are the BHP difference between catback and TD really that radical?
ls1sounds.com doesnt help me much on laptop speakers..
I've already gotten Pacesetter LT's, just need to finish up the rest of my exhaust
thanks in advance

its not the best for hearing the sound of the exhaust because its pretty much a wide open throttle burnout but yeah...
however.. even though i like the sound its not loud enough for me.. its loud in high revs but how often do you actually drive in that range? Its my DD so i might be going to tsp duals with sweet thunders because i actually want it to be loud.. i dont care, muscle cars are suppose to be loud.. although tsps might be on back order, you might want to check that..

Well i dont mind being really loud on the throttle, but i mean like when im cruising at normal speeds..will there be much drone? kinda like highway cruising or just driving slow.
actually the meaner and louder the better, but i want to be able to have a conversation with my girlfriend in the car without us yelling at each other just to talk you know. I used to have a real loud exhaust on another car and it was madness..dont want the same thing again.
that burnout vid, i think the lt,ory and hooker catbak actually sounds pretty decent.hmmm...my car is pretty much stock except for a filter/lid, will it yield alot more power with td's?

i cant speak for other people td setups. but my tsp setup w/dynomax bullets has a lot of drone, and so does the sweet thunder mufflers. im sure there are other mufflers for duals that cut down on the drone but for the ones ive heard so far there's a lot.

I was just sick of the ground clearance issues and I actually preferred the sound of my GMMG over the duals. The duals sounded amazing at WOT but around town they just sounded kinda unrefined and nasty.
