i think the american thunder is the 2 chamber delta flow and the other is the 3 chamber but im not positive. American thunder will be the loudest... but they are not as loud as the originals...but they dont drone NEARLY as much.

ta-da... you know ernan, the guy u sent ur clips to on AIM

hey ernan, the DIYer you are. why not throw some 3" ractive tails/tips, mufflers of your choice and weld them up? i would have gone that route if i would have known

btw: i've been getting lazy, i've got a pretty sweet clip of stprolla sitting on my desktop (from before his car got owned)

Hehe i know that was you but sometime i switch you guys

Why i don't get custom cat-back, because when i bought my Stang it came with 40s Flows welded at stock 2 1/4 pipes and i hate it realy bad, one muffler have broken or rip off chamber inside and it doesn't sounds good on idle or WOT, and i think its clog up somehow, i wanna direct fit loud exhaust BUT something that was nice to ears and that is Flowmaster
