Default TRUE DUAL GUYS please

I need a new exhaust on my car can not stand how my dynomouth,lt's, and ory sound. It sounds like a damn pickup truck. Well i was going to get the 4" mufflex system with a spintech and alote of people say the flow bad but i dont know how. So any ways i was wondering if alote of you guys experience dron inside the car expecially around 1500 to 2000 rpm's. I really hate that noise to. If not is there any muffler i should stay away from with a true dual setup with a x-pipe. I was going to have my muffler shop build me one for cheap. Or do you think the tsp true duals are worth the money. Thanks

Single chamber flows have the drone. Heard alot of other guys say they have it too. I know for a fact mine does. Seems to fluctuate with how you arrange your turndowns though.

Np, for what its worth mine is only noticeable in 6th gear with windows closed @ those rpms (75-85ish) with a 30 degree turnout. I would imagine with a bigger turnout you could almost eliminate it.

Borla XR-1's
Magnaflow 4x9
Sweet-Thunders

I've had the Borlas, and I'm currently running the sweet thunders. The Borlas were extremely quiet inside the car, but a beast outside. The Sweet-Thunders don't have any drone at all. They're just really deep. REALLY DEEP.. I'm lovin em so far.

Even got complimented by base security the other day..

I currently have Maganflow 4x9's and they are really nice. The sound is VERY deep, and there is practically no drone. I am going to re-do the whole system though and run the pipes out the back with Flowmaster 10 series mufflers instead so I can go over speed-bumps.

where do you get the sweet thunder mufflers, i remember seeing them just not sure where. Plus do you recommend a 3" setup for the smoothest sound possible.

There is a website that sells them. Do a search on Google and you will find it. They arent really mufflers per say, they are just like pipes with pieces of metal hanging out , but they still sound very nice! Sound wont change much from 2.5" to 3". Do whichever you want. 2.5" will be better suited for low ground clearence for speed bumps and what not.

Google the three words you just wrote and you'll find them. I was torn between all three of those and the one's I finally chose, Edlebrock. Anyone is a great choice. I wanted a real looking muffler and the Edlebrock had the best clearence (only 3.5 " high). Mine are quiet as a mouse on the inside and I have dumps! They are extremely deep without any drone whatsoever. You can hold a conversation with and without the windows open. Check out my sig for pics and sounds.

Ordered the 3" edelbrock mufflers today for my true dual setup. BLASTER's car sounds to damn good not to try them. They should flow pretty good from their design plus it will be a little quieter which i wont mind. Thanks for the input there guys. I will post some clips up when i get it together. Should sound a little different with a G5X3 cam.

I have Duals on my car with bullet mufflers, but have it ran over the axle. It has very little to no drone at all. It is very quiet inside the car until you get on it then all hell breaks loose.

Nice. Glad I could be of some help and thanks for the compliment. I can't wait to hear your car with your cam. Please shoot me a PM when you get some clips. To be honest, mine is sooo quiet inside that it makes me think its quiet on the outside. I know its not but I would like it a touch louder. I am iching to get a cam to raise the volume a bit plus i like the lopey sound. You car should sound awesome.
