Thoughts on Sweet Thunder Today i took off my Magnaflow 4x9's and installed some Sweet Thunder 18" 3"inch Inlet/Outlet. All i can say is...WOW!!! 
I have never heard something so Sweet. At idle it sounds nice doesn't have a deep rumble like the Magnaflows did, but has a tone something the Magnaflows never did. Driving they have a definite tone, which is exactly what i was looking for. At WOT forget it, definetly louder than the Magnaflows and sound awesome. If anybody has been considering changing their mufflers or buying these, let Sweet Thunders be your first and only choice, you will not regret it.

Hey Carlos hows it going? Hopefully everything is going great with you.
Yeah the car sounds amazing i mean if there is any horsepower loss i could care less the car sounds absolutely amazing. The magnaflows sounded real good cause they had a deep sound to it. The sweet thunder have now a mustang style tone to them. For anybody considering getting Sweet Thunder get them and get ready to smile.

I went from ory-pipe and open cutout to true duals with sweet thunders and picked up dyno proven horsepower on a much hotter/humid day, so I don't understand anyones claims of them hurting power. You cant get much better flow than ory with an open cutout. I did the swap for sound and was happy to see I gained hp and sound quality. The only way I see them becoming a restriction is if your well over 500rwhp and then its the pipe size, they only go up to 2.5".

From what i can tell i don't think theres that much of a difference, and from what i have heard on LS1 Sounds the cars with the Sweet Thunders sound 10times better than anything else.

Bullits flow alot more than sweet thunders, just look inside them. If you like them though and dont mind who cares. There is a flow chart posted back some years with various muffs, although sweet thunder was not yet. Search it out, its at least a point of reference. If you look inside them and still think they flow as well please dont go into the porting business.

Yeah the bullets are basically straight through, the Sweet Thunder have these "Shark Teeth" as they call them. But anyways the way the car sounds at WOT you would think its a straight through pipe. Some of my friends that never saw the mufflers before i had them installed even asked me if they were just straight pipes.
