What length and internal baffle size did you go with? im looking to get rid of my hooker shorty / flowmaster setup and go with long tubes with a bullet style muffler w/ an h or x pipe.

I've got two 18"x3 with the 2.5" I.D. on my duals. Awesome sounding muffler. Just the other day I had a chance to directly compare my setup to a guy who just had the Dynomax Bullets. Everyone who was there said that my car sounded a lot better.

+1 on the 18" x 3" w/2.5" cores. Previous owner switched from bullets to these and said it was no comparison. I've heard bullets and I have these and I can agree with him.

Sweet, after if get my long tubes on I definetly want to have a pair of these to back them up with. Are the 18" mufflers with 3" in/out with a 2 1/2 core about the standard ?

What about their 'custom upgrade' muffler? they advertize the are more mellow toned. I assume everyone went with the 'general use' series?

18" length, 3" In/Out, with 2.5" Interior. Had Magnaflow 4x9's previous to this and it does not compare in any way. Sweet Thunders are one of the best out there.

After listening to a lot of cars on LS1Sounds, IMO the Bullets sound better...
