sweet thunder's do sound bad *** on a TD system, but IMO, I think they would sound better with an H pipe, rather then with a X pipe....

My vote is for the SLP resonators because ive never heard of anyone going with them before only thing is you many go deaf or vibrate everything in your car loose, but man I cant even imagine how bad *** they would sound! Back to reality though, id go with the sweet thunder mufflers, ive heard them on a trans am ws6 with Hooker longtubes, no cats, and dumped at the axle and it sounded mean as hell, but im sure you couldnt go wrong with the ProFlo's either, id avoid the flowmasters though, never really liked them. Good luck though with whatever you choose!

Dr. Gas makes a 3" inlet reduced to 2.5" outlet if you are interested.

Hey Ruck if you get the sweet thunders I would like to meet up where I can hear them. You are in Ga right. I have TSP TD but if the ST sound better I would be willing to change.

HAHA, sexual experience? That might be pushing it, but I'm glad she (and you) like the sound. Thanks for the picture. Do you happen to have a sound clip?

So Sweet Thunders have some of the best clearance? I'm looking for a little more clearance and a different sound. The Moroso Spiral Flos are those the ones Summit sells for around $50?
Also which sponsors sell the Sweet Thunders?

If you worried about clearance, get lanes. I stood a coke can (LONG WAYS) between the lowest point on my old exaust. That was the 3" version too.

Twister Flo Pro sound nice at WOT and are not to loud. SLP resonators arent much of a muffler. Go with the twister.

Just FYI, turndowns on the exhaust WILL create more drone/interior resonance.

Drone really don't bother me that much it's the RASP that drives me crazy. Before I ran my exhaust out the back I had no rasp. Now that it's out the back I have a little rasp but not near as much as when I had a ORY. I thinking of getting some 12" mufflers behind the X then some cutouts then running some 2.5" pipe under the axle out the back.

Been doing some looking at mufflers and saw some that said 12" body and 18" overall length I just want a short 12" or 14" overall length.

I went with 12" Dynomax bullets dumped at the sides. I am very pleased. Awesome sound!

I have the whole TSP TD system that dumped. I believe those are 18" bullits. Is that correct? Are the 12" going to be louder and is the overall length 12"? Thanks Do you have any pics?

Yes the 12" will be louder then the 18".
Bullets come in 16 1/2 inch versions but the actual muffler is only 12 inches long.
