Default sweet thunder question

Is everyone just putting dumps on these mufflers or is there a decent tip that will fit these.

Everyone that uses these. Uses them for true duals that are dumped.

If you're going to have them mounted after the axle, you can go with whatever tip you like.

I dont' want to run this exhaust out the back but the dumps on my TSP true duals just echo the noise off the ground and the interior noise is terrible. I'd like to just put tips that flow straight out to the rear of the car instead of dumping them to the ground. I really don't care for the looks of the sweet thunder mufflers and need to find a decent looking set of tips for them. Will sweet thunders decrease interior noise compared to bullets.

No. It'll be just as loud, just with a different tone.



And where do you want to put tips? Under the car before the rear? If so, just run pipe ends since no one will see them anyway.

Yes, i want to put tips under the car before the rear. I know you really can't see them. I was really hoping the sweet thunders would decrease interior noise. The bullets have like wierd metallic buzzing noise under 2k rpms that sounds terrible. Did you experience this also?
