Difference in sound is like night and day with my true duals IMO. The bullets sound very deep but tend to drone a bit and take away from the "sound" of the exhaust. The sweet thunders are still very deep, but you can here the lump-lump-lump in the exhaust, sounds very old school musclecar.

You can get them in 2½'' or 3'' the thing is, they only have up to a 2½'' core. And as for length, you can either get them in 18'' & 24'' but you can also customize the length as well for your specifications.

i just got them on my car...i love it. i have lt's, 2.5 inch duals with 18" sweet-thunders. its really not that loud, i have no drone, and no vibrations. it sounds deep and smooth, like an oldschool muscle car, and up top it screams.

Looks like the old 69 camaro mufflers to me. I would use these over a bullet muffler in my opinion.

i wish you could get the tsp system with these mufflers. if i could weld, i'd just buy an x pipe and weld my own system together but alas, i cannot. i'll just end up swapping them out at a later date once i buy the system.
