maybe going to tsp true duals... thoughts?

so ive been kicking around the idea of selling off my kooks ORY and magnaflow cat back and putting in its place a tsp true duals setup. My problem is I cant decide which of the three mufflers I want to get, dynomax bullets, moroso spiral flows, or the sweet thunder. The car is just long tubes, tune, lid, and a 150 shot. Will be seeing a heads/cam package in the future, but for now, im just tired of the reserved tone of my setup, and want something a bit beefier. ive looking at the ls1sounds.com and youtube, I want something that is fairly reserved at idle but really screams when you jump on it. What are your guys' thoughts and experiences? ive seen a few vids that have me leaning to the dynomax bullets

If you are DD'ing your car and you dont have a cam, the TSP's are great. If you have a cam, it doesnt matter which bullet choice you go with, it will be LOUD. I had TSP's and before I went with the cam, I had the sweet thunders, and it was awesome. Normal driving was bearable and sounded great. Once I put the cam in, i couldnt hear myself think. I switched to a TD set up with CAT's and Edelbrock Mufflers. Its still pretty loud, but not anywhere near as loud as the bullets.....hope this helps

^^^so what did you end up doing with it. What is your new setup? I have to disagree, I love how loud they are and IMO its not unbearable inside with windows up. I just took a ride last night with a passenger and someone in the backseat and we were having conversations just fine crusing around. Now WOT is a different story but it sounds good so who cares and its not my DD>

Damn those exhaust setups sound sick!!! Ive decided once I get my car back from speedinc with my new 12 bolt and my conversion Im ordering true duals from tsp. Couple questions though is that a 3 inch exhaust??? And with vogtland lowering springs about a inch to an inch and a half drop will I have clearance issues??? Is this hard to install also. Definately dumped before the axle is the way Im going!!!

yes its a 3 inch xipe. install was not hard at all. me and a buddy installed the headers, and full exhaust on our backs in my garage floor with jack stands. just takes some patience. Make sure you tuck them up real nice dont bolt anything together until its how you want it.
I have never had issues with clearing anything. my driveway has a pretty good drop off at the end and I go up and down just fine. I will be lowering with stranos next year so I can post up pics then. You'll love the sound of them especially with a cam

I ended up getting the Sweet Thunders on my TSP duals and everyone who's heard my car says it sounds great all around. It's loud but has a really nice tone to it.

Heres the comparison, they are way louder in person than the camera gives them credit for, and holy **** does it put a smile on your face when you open them up

Now after hearing all these sound clips IDK which muffler to get. I already have an aggresive cam and plane to go bigger cam with heads and intake. So sweet thunders would sound the best??? Or should I just get the dynomax bullets? My cars lowered a little over an inch also. I want the best sounding true dual setup and dont want to switch it up after the fact.

sweet thunders or power sticks are FTW, they're on my buddys car and i've never heard another car sound like his. i could be at the hot dog stand at the track and i'd know when he was doing a burnout/staging.

I highly recommend the true duals, no matter what. Your muffler choice is a matter of preference. I'm sure you've heard plenty of setups now. Nothing can outflow those true duals. Make sure you go with 2.5" because ground clearance with 3" is a bitch and I doubt you will really ever have enough power to max out the 2.5". I didn't pay much attention when I bought mine though. I have a Trans Am and it looks weird having those cutouts in the rear and the exhaust is friggin dumped under the car. Keep that in mind too. I'm probably gonna end up having some pipe run to the cutouts again.

I have more clearance with my 3" TD than I did with my ypipe setup. It is all how you install it that will determine the ground clearance. I'm at stock height now but will be lowered next year

I've got a set of bullet TSP duals ready to go on my car...I might have a little fun and order a pair of Power Sticks and do some back-to-back comparisons. Shouldn't be too hard to run the bullets for a day or two, then unclamp them and switch the Power Sticks in.
