If you haven't already read this one I would check it out. I don't know the specs of the Spiral-Flow off the top of my head but I believe the Powersticks are less restrictive. For the money I would go with the 'sticks, they are pretty quality pieces as well.

I've got Stainless Works mufflers installed after the X, then ran PowerPacks behind the axle (went under it). The Powerpacks and the Stainless Works mufflers are basically the same.

I'm putting a 3" ID powerstick (short one) in place of my LM1 resonator. Looking forward to hearing it after seeing some positive comments on it.

For those guys running them, did you point the louvers "with" the flow or "against"? I was going to try against first since my car is so loud with the long tubes and LM1.
