My vote TD'S

I am starting to get convinced to try the TD's and I would like to install them and dyno and see what the difference is too. I think I will. I like and appreciate all the input from you guys it's really helped me understand the system more and get a feel for it without having it yet. I will see how it sounds with the bullets then go from there as far as Magnaflow or other mufflers.

I have td's and love them. Ive had other catbacks and the duals sound so much better. Mine go over the axle and only cost me around $450 installed with some bullets. Im switching to some chambered pipes now for a deeper sound.

I just installed a set of TSP Dual with spiral flows. I was like a little kid on christmas morning when i first started the car. I got the " your crazy" look from the wife as I was revving it to 4k in the garage.....

I had a hooker catback with a tsp catted y-pipe. The difference in sound is amazing. Ive yet to get it on the road...

i was trying to decide the same thing. thanks guys i think yall have convinced me too. but now to decide which muffler from tsp, bullets, spiral flows, or sweet thunders. is there a real big difference in sound? which do yall think sounds best i will be getting a cam soon so hopefully an even greater sound. i want a deep sound and to sound viscous at WOT. which do yall think i should get?

R&D'd True Duals are a wise choice. Believe it or not it is, for a variety of reasons.

I used to have on my Firebird a shorty header ypipe catback combo with stock catalytic converters, and for a simple ypipe system, the sound was pretty good, it had no rasp. A lot had to do with the magnaflow catback, analogous to a subtle yet sharp designer suit.

But when I moved to my TDs, the sound was in a different league altogether. Not only did it pick up tones lower in the audible frequency, (you can check my website for multimedia clips of both), it also gained a substantial amount of midrange torque in part due to the volumetric xpipe crossover scavenging more air out of the engine than otherwise, analogous to the reason LTs dwarf shorties, at all ranges of rpms.

So basically there are good reasons to run True Duals, although the biggest one is definitely sound.
