Default Sweet-thunder muffler

2 things. I was looking at a sweet thunder 18" muffler and couldn't help but notice it looks totally different then a regular muffler. Its a tube, one long tube. Is it the same as a regular looking muffler? 2nd, would it be wise for me to put 2 mufflers on my car, after all mufflers are meant to quiet a car, wouldn't it be best to just have 1? Thanks,
-Nick

They're chambered mufflers, so they look a little different. In a sense they are like regular mufflers, but in a sense they arent.

Depending upon your setup you wont need 2. If you plan on going w/ a true dual setup then yes, each tract of exhaust will have its own muffler so you would need 2. If you kept the Y-pipe, then 1 should suffice.

You won't have any complaints. That's for sure.

You definitely need two mufflers for true duals.

And you definitely don't want sweet thunders (or any other chambered style/bullet muffler) if you want a quiet exhaust.
