Eliminating BLAAATTT sound from TD's?
#1
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I initially put on my TD's with dumps and loved the sound besides how loud it was inside the car. I then extended the duals out the back under the axle and it sounds great at idle and WOT, but makes a BLAAATTTT sound on part throttle that I don't really care for. Is there any way to eliminate this? Is it the mufflers (Sweet Thunder) or what. I don't want to ditch the TD's, and I don't want to spend a lot of money swapping mufflers, but I want to change that part throttle sound. Any ideas or input? Thanks.

I just got an H-pipe set-up with sweet thunders as well, all mendrel bend and im getting an unusual sound from under the car not from the tail pipes. I wouldnt really say its a blatt sound but similar to the sound you get when you hit the gas at a really low RPM. Does your car have a tune? mine doesnt, maybe our cars are running lean, cud this effect the sound?

I think I have that also when I hit the gas at low RPMs slowly. Does it sound like a LOUD as truck w/o muffler kinda sound? like a glass pack kindish? I dunno, I can't describe the sound. (The only part I kinda don't like.) I also don't have a tune, w/ ORX system. I know its not rasp or anything like that.

And I wouldn't say its a drone b/c were describing more of a sound coming from beneth the car, not really out of the tailpipes. An example of bad droning is an SLP LM crusing at about 1500-2500 RPM.
