I think I'm going with the sweet thunders...
Only thing left is 2", 2.25" or 2.5"?
With a stock 350 should I just get the 2"?

with sweet thunders and your stock setup you still might set off a few car alarms going down the street.

Seriously?
I've been told the Max Flows are louder.
The Spirals are loud (some say tinny) but somewhat tunable.
That's why I'm thinking the Thunders are the way to go...

I have a stoch L-48 and the sound is too perfect, its loud to give you a whit knuckle grip if you have heard it at WOT in a whyle, but still have a conversation in the cab without screaming your lungs out

I have recently set off a couple car alarms with my sweet thunder 2.5 at arround 1K-13K in the parking garage

I'm buying the Max Flows right now.
We'll see if I keep 'em or try the Sweet Thunders or Classic Chambered.

Thanks Dean.. With NO mufflers/baffles it's even better. But it IS painful. Standing next to it gets real ugly.
