I had the tsp true duals on my firebird. It was the loudest car I have ever owned, it sounded good but don't ever expect to hear your cell phone or radio.

Need a louder radio, lol. I plan on true duals at somepoint, so this isnt good to hear. What did it have for mufflers/resonators?

problem with the TSP is it dumps Under the car so it resonates under the car wich mea alot of drone while driving. Tonys car wasnt too bad but its alot louder then say a regular catback that exits at the bumper. i would honestly have a true dual setup dump out under the doors. If i was to go that route. wich i wont.

Yeah what you will find with an exhaust that dumps under the car is the relationship between how loud it is outside and how loud it is inside changes drastically. Tony's car does not sound much louder than a typical LT/catback car outside but inside it is a LOT louder.

That is a very good point, my car wasn't too bad outside but inside was ridiculous.

One of the local guys near me did that with the factory gfx setup. Notched them and has the pipes set back just a bit so they don't stick to the police. Sounded alright. He could have chosen a better muffler I think but sick setup none the less.
