Default Best Bullet?

I'm getting ready to do my exhaust. I'm going to get a set of ARH LT's and am going to have a local guy fab up a set of true duals, but I have to supply the bullets and am wondering which one to choose. I was thinking about the Dynomax bullets, but don't know if they are really all that good. I want it loud and to make good power. What do you guys suggest? Also, what size should I go with? Thanks for your help.

18" would prob be best. Bullets are very loud. You could also go with spiral flows, sweet thunders, flow 1 chambers, etc

If you want something really loud go with dynomax bullets but if you want it to sound good too then get the spiral flows. They flow great sound super throaty but quiet at idle.

I just got done reading about the spiral flows where they were robbing a lot of power. I am going to go with the H-pipe I think. I was thinking about the Sweet Thunders, but I want it loud even when I am at idle. I want it to shake the ground. I just really like LOUD cars!

I had a guy that had a set here in Springfield that I was thinking about getting, but I don't know if he still has them or not. I was looking at those Powersticks today. Watched a video on their website that they had them on an '02 WS.6, sounded REALLY good! I just don't know how loud they are at idle.

That's good to know. What did it do to the sound? Did it make it deeper or something?
