I went with the spiral flows after the bullets were just to loud to deal with.

sweet thunders by far sound better than bullets, if you still want bullets just go to a junk yard and cut a a 20 to 30 inch straight through resinator in half. and weld em on.

I'm running 18" sweet thunders. They're louder than the spiral flows but quieter than the bullets. Sorry, but i have no sound clip.

here is a vid on the dyno, setup:

LTs/ORY/dyno max bullet in i-pipe/muffler delete and y-pipe to tips:

it sounded pretty good, a little raspy but too loud ALL the time, I eventually put a sweet thunder muffler in place of the bullet and the tone smoothed out and wasnt as raspy but still sounded sweet and loud. but i put an electric cutout in now, it is REAL loud.
