hey guys i have been thinking about these mufflers alot and with my current exhaust i need some help. bad.
i am either going to have a borla XR1 welded in or after seeing this thread i go to thinking...what if i put two sweet thunders in my Loudmouth CB. i could leave the resonator in place. and then on the passenger side tailpipe i could weld in a swwet thunder and on the pipe that crosses over in the rear for the drivers side tailpipe i could get another sweet thunder welded in.
or i could do this and then possible eliminate the resonator..
LMK
Thanks
Louie

well i emailed mike at sweet thunder.com so i can try to get some custom length sweet thunders. i measured the lengths in my garage and i would need a 12 inch and a 16 inch sweet thunder to go back there. i wonder how it will sound...

Why not just replace the resonator with just one sweet thunder? By using two behind the axle like that you are pretty much going to have a GMMG cat back set-up.

if it sounded like gmmg that would be great. and i dont want to use only one in case it is way too loud still, this resonator is horrible.
i will most likely but two of the sweet thunders roughly the same length and weld them in, if i dont like it i will build custom true duals.

I have one in my i-pipe & a zed-style cut-out and I think it sounds great. It's cleaned up the sound of the cutout very well and I'm very happy with the sound now.
Just wanted to give another alternative that I have never seen mentioned before...

I just put in Pacesetter headers and had 3" short pipe with a pair of custom Sweet Thunders with only 9" chambers (14" overall I think) welded in. The tips turn out where the floor bord dips down-----about halfway down the doors. It is damn loud and VERY deep. Standing beside the car you can feel the driveway vibrating through your shoes at idle
.
Not much ground clearance though
. It is only temporary as I intend to get the TSP Rumbler X dual exhaust without mufflers one day.

fortunately sound is what i am going for. i figure that i will do this with my exhaust.
The edelbrock stepped headers to the ORY, and then into a single 3" electric cutout immediately after the y pipe, followed by the LM resonator and then to the Y pipe in the Lm catback out to 2 12" sweet thunders in each side of the exaust and finally my CME tips. i think will sound
