Default Sweet Thunder on the end of my y-pipe!

Ok so I have been debating this for a while. I had a hooker catback on it before and it drove me nuts. I personally didn't think it sounded that good unless you were wide open. So cut it off yesterday and clamped on a sweet thunder and a turndown. Not bad! Loud, but deep with some rasp but its not bad. . . I can live with it till I get my TSP duals I have been so patiently waiting for.

Oh yeah if anyone in the STL or Springfield IL area wants this Hooker catback its yours for $200. I would really rather not ship it, thats why I didn't post in the for sale section.

I havent decided yet, I was going to wait and see how the flo-pros sounded. Thats why its taking forever, I guess TSP only has the dynomax bullets in stock. How is the drone on the highway with the sweet thunders?

not bad to me but i have 3.73 gears...umm there is a spot at 1800-2000 where it changes pitch...if you had to drive in that rpm on the highway i'd say you better find out how to cure it...cause it would be annoying if you couldn't drive around it...i think most any exhaust that has no cats is going to have that...i've heard worse, WAY worse, with my friend who had lt's, ory, and a flowmaster cat-back...

Can you describe how the sound changed after the sthunder install at idle, part throttle, highway cruise, and wot?

I find my bullets to be very irritating at highway cruise. My ear drums ache from the drone.

what is the part # of your sweet thunders?
