if your concerned with rasp it doesn't matter because true duals have little to no rasp in the first place... so your decideing factor is what kind of tone and sound do you want

I dunno about that, i've heard the TD's with bullets sound pretty raspy. What i'm looking for is a good deep muscle sound that doesn't get too raspy at WOT. I wanna really be able to hear my cam lope at idle so i dont want it to quiet my exhaust down too much, maybe just quiet it down at WOT but keep the idle loud. I guess that's the best way i can explain what i'm looking for.

What I've learned over time is that rasp is inherantly subjective... it sounds different to everyone (to some, bullets are all rasp, to others, no TDs rasp...), so it's tough to get coinciding answers from different people

That's probably true. With noises, it's so hard to describe them, what i refer to as rasp, might not seem annoying to others like it is to me.

Bullets are absolutely awesome! I'll be completely honest: I've never showed my exhaust to an LS1 owner in person and not had them say "that's the best sounding LS1 I've ever heard" and thats coming from owners with all types of setups (STs, LM, etc.).

Hint: DO NOT GO BY SOUND CLIPS... they sound NOTHING like they do in person..... N O T H I N G... I cannot stress this enough... .PLLLEEEASSSE Do Not GO By them!!!! Including the sound clip in my sig... its NOTHING like that in person.. at all!!

The problem is you dont have a cam, once you throw a cam in there it's gonna sound alot different, and i know guys with a cam and bullets and they dont like it cause it's horribly loud.

Personally NOTHING sounds better than the Flowmaster 1 Chambers. NOTHING. I have them on my stock internal setup with PaceSetters and 3" TD's with Dr. Gas X and they are freaking insane sounding.

They have a great tone at any load on the engine, good sound at idle, and at WOT they are hellacious. Rasp, yeah I get some. part of the one chamber effect, but I have had numerous people with other TD mufflers who have commented that mine sound better.

I also have a buddy who is on here, Tim99WS6 who has a set on his h/c setup 347 and he loves them.

wish I had clips, but don't...

Oh well. Can't believe I'm the first to actually post about them. Plus they look sick out the back of the Camaro's!!

man I ordered spiral flows from TSP I m going to put them on, but If I dont like the sound Im going to try the 1 chamber flowmasters. There is a camaro up the road from me that has them on it and it is so deep, when i looked out the window when he went by I expected an older beefy car and it was a ******* 97maro.
