Love my duals, wouldn't go back. I was able to tuck them up well, just take your time and get the exhaust all together loosely clamped, then jack the whole thing up to where you want it, then tighten up the clamps and attach hangers.

You guys that are worried about clearance and like the way the tsp system sounds can do a system like this one below that I built. I could blindfold you and you would not be able to tell them apart in sound. I also felt like it made slightly more top end power than my 3" duals with x pipe.

The system below is dual 3" into a flowmaster merge then 4" out to a 4" dynomanx bullet and dump.

Its much lighter and a much cleaner install.

Here's my TSP Rumbler/Sweet Thunders (Dumped) with Strano Springs:





BTW the TSP exhaust setup is by far my favorite.

Good Luck with your decision!

i'm lowered slightly lower than this^^^^ (almost as low as sportlines) and like his, my duals tucked up nicely.....+100 on the sweet thunders, they are awesome.....i've had magnaflow, dynomax bullets, etc and will never run anything but sweet thunders on an LS car/truck.....assembling everything then jacking it up before you tighten it is definitely the way to go.....i have to be careful around taller speedbumps, but other than that, i get around pretty well....sorry, no pics yet

yes I agree. The TSP kit is very nice if you take your time and tuck it up nice and tight. I'll be lowered soon with mine and will post pics.

WOW! you have some good clearance with stranos. You don't have spacers right? Damn looks like I might reconsider my exhaust options.


PS: how do you have such good clearance with strano springs? I did just about everything I could with my LPP true duals to get them to tuck and I never had good clearance without adding 1.5" spacers.

I would have to get video which I don't have. You look at that pic I posted. Do you think that if I were to come out of the end of that y with 2 smaller short pieces of pipe that its gonna change the sound that much? Its basicly teh same. The x pipe merges 2 pipes into one merge which is about 4" in the middle of the x which is the same as that flowmaster merge. Once the exhaust mixes at that point it really up to the piping and type of muffler that determines sound. Also very important is the type of dump. A cutout on the I pipe wull sound nothing like the system above. The system above because of where it dumps (close to the middle of the car) it uses the bottom of the car and ground to resonate and I promise you that you would not know one from the other.

What would clearance be like if someone used oval exhaust piping? I never heard of anyone trying it or is it just to pricey to do?
