sweet thunders would fit best, but flowmaster 1 chambers would sound nice too! i dont think you would be pleased with the slp loudmouth resonators, although i've never heard of this being done before. most people toss those and replace with a borla xr-1 or spintech.

spiral flow twisters are another muffler you might look into. i have the TSP duals with dynomax 18" bullets. they are a bit on the loud side (especially with my 4.11 gears now). 70mph in 6th brings it to about 2000 rpms, right where the duals begin to get loud i dont know what to do, i may change out my mufflers or somthing.

I have heard the FloPro Twisters are good too. No drone at all and have a mean sound. That is what I am getting when I get duals.

I have always loved flowmasters, the 1 chamber is a nice muffer. But i hear that people just love the sweet thunders.

Dr. Gas X-pipe is a proven design, that is what I would go with.

I'd go with either sweet thunders or moroso spiral flows, or the flo-pro twisters, which is basically the same as the moroso, IMO, I hate flowmasters, hate the sound of them, and EVERYONE has them on some sort of vehicle!!!

Do the Flopro Twisters flow as much as Bullets, Sweet Thunder, etc.?

I like the Dr.Gas X that I have. No slag inside and cut perfectly to match. I like the 1 chamber Flows personally.

Do you (or anyone else with a dr. gas/flopro twisters setup) have a sound clip? There is one on Lane's website that sounds really good, and I just wanted to make sure that is what I want. Thanks!

flows & sweet thunders are probably the loudest at idle, IMO, I would go with the spiral flows, they sound awesome, no drone at cruising speeds and not that loud....until you get on it

My vote would go for the sweet thunders, mainly just for clearance reasons.
