Default TSP True Dual w/ Sweet Thunder

Need some opinions on the exhaust system im looking at. Im looking to order a whole new Exhaust this week. Heres what i was looking at.

PaceSetter 1-3/4" LT Headers
TSP 304 Stainless Steel True Duals.
Sweet Thunder 18" 2.5" Core. 3 inlet 3 outlet.

Post pics of your true dual setup and give me some opinions on this setup. I want loud but i still want a good exhaust sound. Let me know what you think!

So are you going to change the mufflers on the tsp TDs? I think it comes with bullet mufflers. I have a set of 1 3/4 pacesetters I will sell you. They are a little rusty towards the bottom but still work great.

that was my set up exactly, before i changed it, the sweet thunders keep it somewhat tame but its still plenty loud. I had tail pipes made because i couldnt stand the two empty exhaust cut outs in the back of the trans ams. mine wasnt stainless and i added dual cut outs to the X which led to some leaks and eventually it got so bad that it was fouling my O2s and making the car smell so i had the X and cut outs taken off and replaced with an H pipe. Someone asked me for a picture the other day as i referred to my duals so if i remember ill try to get a picture up after work today.

I ordered the TSP TD kit in SS last week, will have installed in a few days. Why not keep the bullets that come with it? Heard they're good. Do the Sweet Thunders come in stainless as well?

Sweet thunders are the best sounding muffler on TD's IMO. OP, I had your exact exhaust on my last WS6 and my God did it sound awesome.

The bullets are good mufflers for sure! But the sweet thunders have a sound that is unmatched with these TD. They sound absolutely amazing! And yes the have aluminized and stainless.

I can't make any assumptions or comparisons on either mufflers at the moment since I yet to hear any TD set up in person. I know, sad but true lol.

Nothing sweet about the sound of sweet thunders??? You're crazy. But everyone is intitled to their opinion. Im definitly not getting a $400 exhaust with $30 mufflers that just dosnt make any sense... everyone ive talked to say this is the best performance and sounding exhaust out there for my car for the price it is. I know theres better GMMG, Hooker etc. but im not trying to spend $1000+ on an exhaust.

The bullet's that came on my Texas Speed true duals sounds ****. Not sure how they do it now, but back then, you had three options in regards to mufflers. Sweet Thunders, bullets, and I can't remember what the 3rd option was, but it was the quietest of the three.

I have the 3" TSP duals with rumbler bullets. They are pretty quiet. I thought they would be as loud as the dynomax bullets.

Looking at switching them to 1 chamber flowmasters or actual dynomax bullets.
