Default Sweet Thunder Flow..?

Ok..so I have searched and searched, but cant find any concrete evidence as to how a set of Sweet Thunders will perform flow wise in a 3" TD setup. We all know they neck down into a 2.5" core that looks like its ready to kill any flow....BUT I know they sound incredible...so does anyone have any PROOF that they will hinder flow?

I was originally looking at Moroso Spiral Flows and I found plenty of people claiming their ETs went up, and their HP went down...some even had dyno sheets....yet I find nothing for the Sweet Thunders...I just dont want to read about the cons after I have them on my car.. so speak now or forever hold your peace..

Im picky about my exhaust note, and I KNOW what the sweet thunders sound like, I wouldnt think you would hear much difference between them and the powersticks, but I also didnt think you would hear much difference between a flowmaster 1 chamber, and a Cherry Bomb 1 chamber knock off and you definately can.

Unless you are running 500+cubes then 2.5" is plenty of room for flow. 3" is actually a little overkill but not entirely.

You'll be fine with them, and they do sound badass. I miss mine sometimes, but they were just too loud with the cam. I went back to the Dual/Dual with an E-cutout and couldn't be happier.

Just found out they started making them in a High Flow version with a 2.75 inner core vs 2.5 so that a bit better.
