Don't worry about the spiral flows man just try 'em out I bet you'll like. Mine sound flowmaster esque outside the car, not 1 chambers but they are a unique sounding bullet. Good luck.

So everyone who voted other, what is your choice? I hear good things (no pun intended) about the Sweet Thunders and I am about to pull the trigger on a set of TSP TD's..........I had Magnaflow bullets on my last LS1 with TD's an wasn't all that impressed.......it was a custom setup, 3", mandrel bent with cats and an x-pipe and it exited out the rear (over the axle). I don't want to make the same mistake again with muffler/TD choices.

I was wondering what 2 loudmouth tubes would sound like on a custom x pipe with gutted catts or maybe no cats at all.

I wasn't going to go true duals at first because I thought they all sounded too raspy.

Then I started hearing some Flowmaster 1 Chamber clips and couldn't believe how much better they sounded than any other true dual set-up. So that's the way I'm going.

Why get rid of the X instead or just changing the mufflers? I've heard the h-pipes sound a little better but the x flows better.

H= Deep Bassy old school sound

X= Racy, exotic high pitched sound

i want that old school sound out of my LS1

Mufflers I would choose(in order) and why.

1. 1 Chamber Flows- very deep sound, scream at wide open throttle, and sound unreal with a big cam.
2. Pro Flow Twisters- deep sound at wide open throttle, good, clean sound with a cam.
3. Sweet Thunders- unique "racecar-like" sound at wide open throttle, especially when the car is coming at you, almost as loud as bullets, but have a more defined sound, and they can be bought in varying lengths which alters the volume and sound slightly.
