Default My new Sweet Thunder catback!

Hey everyone, I only have one picture of it so far, but I'm so happy with it that I wanted to post it up and show everyone, get the word out there. I bought this off eBay, it seems that a guy makes these, and they are top quality. Awesome materials, 304SS Sweet Thunder mufflers, gorgeous tips, CLEAN welds, I can't complain. The only thing is that the i-pipe is sold seperately. Check this out:


Let me know what you think.

What did it cost? If the price is right, that's gonna be a ringer! Everyone's been waiting for a cheaper alternative to the GMMG, and that one looks nice!

ps. Do you have a link for the ebay add? I couldn't find it.

The merge into the 2 mufflers looks pretty nice too......I might have to scoop one of these up.

I think 400 is too much too. $500 is rape.

It looks easy enough to copy. Dynomax and SLP make over the axle pipe and ipipes.

All youd need is the magnaflow y, 2 st mufflers and some 2.5" mandrel bends.

Looks like a nice system, but why are there two different versions of it on Ebay there? One has the pipe routed over to the right in front, while the other has it in the rear.
