I am thinking of going with KOOKS headers, I currently have the SLP Y-pipe and Loudmouth.

Will that work ???

Thanks

Just wondering, what's the difference in sound and flow between the sweet thunders and Stainless Works chambered mufflers?

anyone have any pics of the inside of the sweet thunder? I'd really like to see just how clogged they are. I was also thinking about these two setups. I'd like to see how much it actually hurts.

Sorry no pic, but they aren't as clogged as everyone says they are. True, they do have a lot of funkiness going on inside, but that's the price you pay for the sound. I could hold them up and look through them no problem. My butt told me that they flow just fine, and so did my time gains at the track. I've heard both these exhausts in person and they both sound killer. But there is a huge difference in sound between them, like comparing apples and oranges. The ST's are much deeper and mellow sounding. The bullets have a higher pitch. Both will scare the bejesus out of any unsuspecting motorist who happens to encounter a car so equipped at WOT!! Both are badass sounding, but I went with the ST's after hearing them both. Very unique sound.

I'm with this fella. I have the SLP long tubes with the Loudmouth setup and I want a deeper sound without the loud rasp and "talkin' back" attributes that the LM resonators seem to have. Would these Sweet thunders replacing the LM resonators do the trick?

Those sweet thunders look a bit restrictive. I went with bullets and love the sound.

the TSP X has the option of getting the dynomax bullets, moroso spiral flow, or sweet thunder...im probably going to get this setup, but was having trouble trying to decide on which muffler, but looks like ST is the way to go. How are ST for interior drone for highway trips ?

I have heard sweet thunders, spiral flows, and bullets in person. I have had spiral flows and bullets on my car. The spiral flows sound the best hands down. The spiral flows are also the deepest and quietest, although not exactly quiet. The bullets are deeper than the sweet thunders. The bullets sound like a big block under wot. The sweet thunders sound similar to a glasspack to me. I guess its because its all metallic baffling and the baffling is not a smooth flow. The spiral flow is all metalllic but the way its made the exhaust makes it way through the muffler in a smooth spiral flow.

If you are gonna buy somethiny my vote is spiral flow 1st.
