Default anyone have KBD targa mufflers?

Im in the market for a set of new mufflers.. I currently have the Dynomax super turbos.. I love the sound!! anways, the bracket that connects to the right side broke the other day.. peeled right of resonator.. No way to fix it.. I love the look of this KBDs!! Does anyone have them? Do you like them? and.. What do they sound like?! Nice flowmaster, Borla, or Dynamax, or is it like a cherry bomb/glass pack sound? Thanx mucho.. :hat

Here is a pic on Ecklers site.. i want the 3inch out though.. http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?d...&pf%5Fid=A4152

I have a set of stainless steel KBD's on a 1987 L98, It has a low rumble, sounds like it's from really down deep. At idle, It's quiet, when you get on it , it rumbles and sounds like it means business, on the highway, you can hear the sweet low rumble of the V-8 just enough to make you want to turn the sound system off so you can loose yourself in it. I was a little concerned about putting the mufflers on, I've never heard them or saw them installed on a car. Once I installed them and heard them I knew I made the right choice. They look great, went on easy, and make the vette sound like a vette. They look great from the rear and from the side of the car, they tuck up just enough to look like they belong there. The SS should hold up well. The rest of the car is stock accept for BBS gold center wheels and a blue glass targa top and torch red paint.

I've still yet to buy my exhaust, been checking around. Do these resonate inside?

I've been running them for about 6 months, no they don't resonate in the car, all the sound is behind.
