Default anyone running spintech?

ls1sounds had one or 2 clips...

why are the majority of people running bullets instead of spintech's...comming from the mustang crowd (dont kill me lol) spintech was used ALOT....

im doing pacesetter LT's

3" to the X-pipe and then 2.5" so I can have some ground clearence and either go under/over the axle....which is preferred?

should I buy a dr. gas X-pipe and go to a shop and ask them to fab it up?

any idea on cost?

Chad

I had the spintech muffler...sounded good I like it a lot. Pretty deep and it was nothing annoying.

But I would go with the bullets.

Over or under the axle is fine...most go over though.

I had SpinTechs on my LT1 and will have on my LS1 (hopefully next week), as they are sitting in my bedroom, for now it's just open headers....oh yeah, to answer they question SpinTechs sound badass!

I talked my buddy into them but he doesn't have headers, it's not loud enough but sounds clean!

I think the big reason is that many people with true duals go for the performance over a single pipe system and the Spintechs have a reputation (deserved or not) for being horsepower killers.
