Thanks for the compliment.. I was totally surprised to see that the exhaust was pretty much even with my subframes. The mufflers are actually about an inch or so higher than the subframes..
I'm very happy with the way they turned out.. Now just need to get the car interior together and figure out my P0200 code..

That looks real nice!! Tucked up well. Did you do them yourself?? Are you running cats or no?? Hows the sound?? I have QTP's right now with no cats and ORY. I'm changing over to duals and I'm undecided on mufflers. Most likely I'm going to dump it, so I wanted to know how the interior noise is, if you get any fumes (escess fumes I should say cause I can smell mine now anyway), and how the overall sound is with the Sweet Thunders?? Thanks man, awesome system!!

The sweet thunders are alot louder than my Borla XR-1 setup. Not saying that it's a bad loud. They're EXTREMELY deep .. very bassy. I love it.
As far as interior noise goes, they aren't too loud inside the car. I also have a layer of bequiet extreme also.
I'm loving them so far..

I have 3" duals dumped and the fumes are still there. Doesnt' really bother me and you can only smell them when you're at a light or stuck in traffic anyway. The car is definitley louder than stock, but more than that are the inside rattles that you get. (atleast for me) the tone of the exhaust at certain RPMS clash with the metals the car is made of which causes the body to shake and make a metallic sound when those RPMs are heard. I believe this is a direct result of dumped exhaust; if the duals were run all the way to the back it would be a whole other story since the sound waves would not constantly be reflecting off the pavement and directly at the underside of the car.
Venom, those tuck up really nicely. Do they shake/hit the floor board when you hit bumps or turn very quickly? I've heard some systems that are tucked up really tight tend to make more noise like that.

Good job Mike. Looks nice, almost looked like a ESH X pipe.
Are you using LS1Edit or any tuning device? If not you call Andrew he might be able to get a Diablo Predator for you, cheap too, my old one.

Picked up the x-pipe on eBay for $35. ESH wanted insane prices for td installs.. Hobby shop guy did the welding for free.

Entire passenger side of the engine was without power. It also fried one of my fan control relays. So after getting the wiring taken care of and replacing the fuse and relay.
"IT SOUNDS LIKE A BEAST"--- WOT you wouldn't believe. I think I made a few people actually move to the side as I was getting on it today.
I'm working on some vids. For those that don't believe the TR224 114 has any lope. What until you hear it through sweet-thunder chambered duals.
