Default True Duals Help

Ok so I've got the headers, QTP 1 3/4 LTs and wanting to go with a custom True Dual setup. Id like a local shop to mandrel bend, cut and weld a stainless TD system together to match my CME setup. What bullets or mufflers do you recommend and if you could or have an example of LT headers, X pipe setup with the style of bullet/mufflers please post a video! I've tried YouTube, the True Duals sticky, no luck on a badass, deep, loud tone and a mean growl startup... I'd like a cross between a Magnaflow catback & SLP's LM1 sound... GMMG is nice as well... just an idea of what catbacks I'd llike.

I have the tsp rumbler bullets. They are pretty quiet. I want dynomax bullets. But i am considering sweet thunders or 1 chambers as well.

Just had them installed
It sounds awesome with single chamber flowmasters, best sounding lsx ive heard.
Youll want to have a good shop do it, i have to take mine back to have them tuck it some more, **** hangs reaaaally low. Even if it cant go up any higher its worth the trade...lol

Friday I was at the car wash and heard an amazing sounding vehicle coming down the road and whiplashed to see what it was...it was the car mentioned above.

I'd say that's a nice blind testament to how great it sounds. I don't usually snap my head to see fbodies because they usually sound more like bolt on Silverados.
