Everything looks awesome! I'll bet this system is @#$%ing LOUD!! LOL

Good luck, GSus!! Be sure to post up on your progress and get a sound clip/video on completion.
I'm really hoping it's not THAT loud, lol. On the site, they say that these mufflers are nothing like bullets, and sound amazing...we'll see

I have detailed pics of the rest of the system, inside and out; but for some reason it's not letting me upload them.

If they're anything like my LPPs, they will sound amazing. Not too loud, it's a beautiful loud. Mine just have fiber of some sort packed on the sides, so I guess it's a glass pack.

Yup.. It will be pretty loud, but you will enjoy it. Your neighbors might not like it too much though.

Attached is a picture of my LPP mufflers/resonators/whatever you want to call them. I guess a straight through is a resonator.

Yours looks like it has fiber too, but it's also louvered like a Sweet Thunder, though the sweet thunder's louvers are bigger and they don't have any fiber in them. I have 30" sweet thunders and don't like them, tried them in place of my LPPs, which reminds me I need to sell them.

I think yours will sound pretty good.

WOW!!!!....THAT'S A BIG PIC, lol

Looks very similar, are you still running cats?
I'm not sure mine has any packing in the walls. It seems like the mufflers are dual wall, with the inner having the protrusions.

I'm optimistic though...hopefully I'll feel the same way as you

Woops, lol I fixed that. Stuff like that actually looks small on my 30" monitor.

Yeah yours probably doesn't have any packing, it looks like something is maybe just stuck to that weld on the left.

I have no cats, but I'm starting to get sick of that smell. It gets on my clothes and hair, stinks up the garage. Some people enjoy the smell, but it's kinda getting old. On the other hand, I don't want to spend money to introduce a restriction in my exhaust.

I paid $825 shipped for headers and x-pipe from LPP, so you got a much better deal considering cats are expensive and mine came with none.

Well, hopefully the high-flos' will tone it down some.

Yeah, I noticed there's a couple of strands of "something" caught up within some of the welds...almost like whoever built it tried to clean it out. But, who knows, maybe there is some sort of packing in there. I'm still satisfied, off of sheer looks alone lol. Thinking about ordering another set just to mount on the garage wall lol.

HAHAH, that would be awesome. They are quite beautiful. Nicer than putting a painting up on the garage wall.

Here's what sweet thunders look like on the inside. Yours look similar, except the louvers look lower. I need to go put these up for sale right now since I took these pics. These come with a special pet spider

Are you lowered? Search my posts, I have the exact same setup and I'm lowered on Strano's and KYB AGX's and had to raise the rear of my car to not scrape. If you figure out a way to get it tuck up better PLEASE PLEASE let me know haha

No I'm not.

The area where I'm staying has THE $h1ttiest roads. I'm talking, 3rd world countries have better goat trails than the sorry excuse for pavement here.

I'm going to try to get them as far up as I can.

Please post pics...I'm curious, and am wanting to see what I have to look forward to.

The juices are flowing now, after hearing that.

I don't have LPP though, hopefully mine are a knock-off of that.

Oh, I can't wait!!!


Thanks for the clips and pics
