Otherwise since I put the side pipe on it, it is quite quiet in the cab until you hit the loud pedal.
    i bet that would be loud. i know for a while i had a single flowmaster 40 on mine that was SIDO and it was somewhat louder than my setup now. i'm thinking if i keep the true duals with two mufflers, it will be marginally quieter than running a SISO

    i certainly don't mind going louder at all, in fact that's kinda what i am looking for, i just want to have it sound smooth still.
    You can't compare a Spintech to any other muffler. It's not a straight through, its not a chambered muffler like a flowmaster. It's just different. Every muffler is going to crackle or pop at a certain RPM with LT's and no cats. Mine doesn't do it often enough for me to notice and I have LT's, no cats, and full 3.5" exhaust.

    ok, i'm currently still running cats and stock manifolds, all through 2.5" exhaust. i can't imagine it being a problem.

    a couple of the local people i've talked to recommended the pro street 6000 series. can anyone chime in with experience there? or know how they compare to the 9000 series?

    thanks for the advice.

    Loud but great sounding, it never pop or crackled, just screamed. Once I put the side pipe on I barley notice it unless I'm on it, from what I'm told tho it's still damn loud outside, hehe.

    You can pick up used (they hold together real well) sprint traps off e-bay for pretty cheap just be warned you can only get them in 3" or 3 1/2" inlets.

    i'm looking to stick with the 2.5" inlets.


    the guy i talked to at spintech said that he would recommend the 6000 series. but if the 9000 series is going to be louder and still sound good without popping then i think i might go that route.

    i'm not going to be able to do it for another couple of weeks, but i'm just trying to get as much insight into it as i can, it would really suck to order them and then get them on and not like the sound.
    thanks everyone for the advice

    keep it coming, still need an experienced word on the 9000 vs. the 6000 series.
