For me interior shakes like hell but I like it . another important thing make sure your car is not lowerd that much so you dont face any clearance problems.

I dont got tsp, but my duels rattle the car pretty good. Cant keep anything in the cup holders, ash tray, etc without it making some sort of noise.

i have the TSP duals w/ sweet thunders. the interior noise is of course loud at high rpms, but besides that 1500-2k is the only rpms where resonance is bad, and its very bearable. i love it.

Congrats.

I have TSP duals with ST's..

Only bad things about it are probably...clearance...too loud for some...

You can get 4'' clearance pretty easily.

I have about 5'' or one vertical soda can.

Will you be installing it yourself?

Plan on spending some time installing them and getting the most ground clearance you can. My interior rattle seems to go away after the car is warmed up and been running around. When i took my rear seats out the rear panels rattled like crazy, but with them in it is fine. I really have no complaints about it and it really is not that loud. My radio is usually loud enough that i can barely hear the exhast, now i think it is not loud enough.

I have them with sweet thunders. And when people say they are loud, they mean it. Pretty Damn loud. They sound amazing though. Like the other guys have said the interior rattles pretty good in the low rpm range and clearance isn't the best but, it's just great to see the mustang guys **** themselves when you roll by!

I have the TSP duals with Borla XR1's and it is a nice sound. QUiet inside for the most part while cruising but really opens up when you are on it.

The only problem that I have with my TSP Duals is that they occasionally make my foot go down further on the pedal. I have yet to find a fix for this phenomenon.

I call it "bad-***-sound-itis"

For mufflers, you ought to look into getting Flo Pro Twisters or Moroso Spiral Flows. These will be a bit quieter and quite a bit smoother sounding then bullets. I think they're also quieter then 18" Sweet Thunders, but not having heard ST's in person, I can't say for sure.
