Are they obnoxiously loud? I want some for my 408 stroker but I am concerned about the noise. I dont want to bring anymore attention to my car than it already brings.

For a true dual with bullet mufflers they are not that loud. In an M6, you can actually keep them kind of docile by staying in the low RPMs. They are very deep sounding with a nice rumble. Once you get into it though you can easily here them from about 2 blocks away.

Just attempted to install these on my Kook's LT's. They do not fit! Damn. They are not advertised for Kook's headers and now I know why. The thing that just cheeses my *** is that a member on this board got them to bolt up to his QTP's. I thought these were the same design as Kook's?

Does it work with a aftermarket torque arm like the spohn or does it cause conflict with any other possible suspension mods. If someone could please tell me the situations where it wont work it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Alot.



By the way, this is my first post on LS1tech and I am looking forward to many more, you guys seem like a great bunch...

I'd also like to know pretty much the same thing. I have the BMR torque arm and the cross brace with the driveshaft loop and I want the TSP Duals but I'm worried it won't fit with my suspension. Also lowered on BMR springs, would the exhaust hang too low?

That's what I thought, but they aren't. Let me ask this though: Does your drivers side collector aim slightly towards the outside of the car, or does it aim straight back? I think that is the biggest difference.

Also, I will call TSP in the morning to find out it they plan on making an adapter for the Kook's LT's. This is all they will need. They need to get a Kook's car out there and fab up a different "L-1" piece to make it work. The rest of the system fits under the car just fine.

The L-1 peice is on the left(driver side) right off the header. You could prob go to a local exhaust shop and have them fab you one up. Just a sugestion.

I know the true duals wont fit the Spohn torque arm and I couldnt use my BMR driveshaft safety brace with them. There is 1 1/2 to 2 inches of ground clearance on a stock car. I am thinking that the BFH mod would have to be used to get enough ground clearance on a lowered car, and even then I am not sure if it would work.

hell yea i heard that link when he first posted it up, thats what sealed the deal for my tsp setup. however now that kpowr82 has brought up those issues with kooks lt's(which is what i will be getting), i would like to see TSP's response, they've always been great to work with in the past.
