Cool! Now that is a sound that only heard on aspirated muscle cars with
real mufflers.

A lot of rasping sounds (negative pulse) maybe due to a large pipe (3"
inch?).

Are you running a large 3 inch or large 2.5 inch duals?

Right now, all i did was swap my muffler with the spintech, its the Sport
truck model 5447 3" in/out muffler. By the end of the summer im going to get
a dual setup with the spintech sportsman series mufflers. I happen to like
the sound of a spintech a lot more than a flowmaster. Honestly, flowmasters
are very common and you hear them on a lot of vehicles. Spintech has a
unique sound that helps you stand out from the crowd. The spintech isn't as
deep as a flowmaster but it has a raspy sound that I really like.
