I dd mine (in sig), and love it. The dumps are angled slightly out, and inside the car with windows up I can carry on a conversation only talking slightly louder than normal. Outside the car it is FAR louder than interior noise would indicate. I love it.

I have banging because I didn't do poly mounts and I mashed the exhaust as close to the body as possible. Rght night there is a full soda can at the lowest point to give you an idea, but the problem is that my stock mounts are... soggy. I could easily drop it a bit and get more clearance but I'm just gonna do the poly mounts and keep my clearance. HTH.

If you take your time installing it it won't. Don't rush and be careless. I took my time on mine, and it has yet to bang and rattle.

I plan on getting that same setup (TDs, H-pipe, FM 1 chambers) made this spring. I was thinking about putting glasspacks, bullets or somthing before the flowmasters. How do you guys think this will sound? I want to do it like that mainly to tone it down just a little and refine the sound while still having the FM tone. I really dont want to put cats in there. Just some cheap small glasspacks. or would that just be a waste of money?

My system IS the actual TSP system. It's all in how you install, if done correctly with patience, it should not bang, assuming your motor mounts aren't in decrepit condition.

well im running a 2.5 inch x pipe with dumped vforce mufflers and i love it i daily drive mine about 15 miles to work and back .at idle you can tell its not stock but its not loud even driving its not bad .alot has to do with mufflers in my opinon like for instance a single chamer flow is a reasonably loud muffler to most just depends on your idea of loud..and some mufflers are just quite even with a true dual setup.personally i will sacrafise some interior noise for the sound of them they just sound to good .you can check the vids section and theirs various clips with assorted dual setups and you can get a pretty good idea what each sounds like to find you ideal setup

the tsp duals on my car have excellent clearance and do not bang. i installed the exact same setup on my buddies car and got the same if not more clearance than my car and could not stop the banging. solution-took an old rubber bushing and cut so it would barely fit between the body and the pipe marked L1, wahlah, no more banging. not as professional as i would of liked but it solved the problem.
