how are the true duals from TSP
true duals sound great. There are lots of opinions on mufflers, listen on ls1sounds fr what you like and not what OTHERS like.
You can't go wrong with their true duals- one of the best systems out there.

That's not true. It's an internet myth. Mufflers overwhelmingly dictate how loud a system will be.
It's a common myth that true duals have to be loud. It just happens to be that way on F-body's because you can't fit a big muffler on TD's. Corvettes, Mustangs and GTO's all have TD's from the factory and they're practically silent. True duals with bullets can't be much louder than a Loudmouth because the mufflers hardly muffle the noise. It's still the same engine. The only difference is since TSP TD's have two 3" pipes instead of just one 3" pipe on the Loudmouth, you may get a little more sound. The TSP TD's just seem louder because they're dumped. Run the system out the back and it won't be much louder than a Loudmouth. In fact, spiral flows run out the back should be quite a bit quieter than the Loudmouth since spiral flows actually do a decent job at muffling sound for their size.

i had the TSP dumped duals w/ sweet thunder mufflers on my T/A for awhile. sounded great, and was very loud inside the car, and pretty damn loud inside. once i got a stall in the car, i couldn't take it anymore for a DD. out the back does sound great tho. friend of mine had his run out the back and it sounded perfect

I love my sweet thunders. Tame and deep at idle, but screams at wot. Setting off car alarms is always fun. It's really loud for a dd though. When you want to get on it, all the convo's stop because no one can hear anything.
It's all worth it though, they sound great and install was fairly easy. I did it in my driveway.
And yeah, all you need is this and long tube headers. Mine took some adjusting for one pipe to slip onto the other, but no leaks so far.

I have the TSP true duals with sweet thunders. At first the car was very loud and I didnt know if i liked it at all. But after a week went by it doesnt seem as loud and I absolutely love them. Mine are dumped and its my DD.

I have the TSP true duals with Dynomaxbullets. Its not that loud just cruising around but when you get on it man they scream. Theres a guy here in town with an lt1 with lt's and loudmouth and to me his car is alot louder than mine but it might be because it's an lt1.
