Default Which length Sweet Thunder to replace LM?

I currently have the LM on my 98 TA, and have been reading good things about replacing the resonator with a Sweet Thunder....which length should I go with to make it a weld in replacement?

I don't feel like I lost any significant power.

Seems like you'd lose something running your entire motor through a single 2.5 inch muffler.

Great now you got me thinking. I never did put to much thought into. But what if I am losing a good amount power? I heard somebody here mention that there is brand similar to SWEETHUNDER called POWERSTICKS. There basically the same, just that they have 3'' inner diameter VS the 2.5'' that SWEETHUNDER has. I'm going to look into it this week and purchase it. I'll post it up soon.

Just do a few wot runs and see if it feels any more sluggish than it used to. If not, maybe you didn't lose much of anything.
