Wanting to switch from A/T's to 10 series.
I have the American Thunder series mufflers now. Thing is, I'm not using them because I disconnected the exhaust under the car where the front portion clamps to the back part of the exhaust. Sounds so good, the way a Mustang is supposed to especially cammed. The reactions around town is priceless. Problem is, I lose a little bit of low end grunt from the shortened exhaust. I want to put a louder muffler and still have a bit of chambered sound to it. 10 series seems to be the way to go. SLP would be my 2nd choice. But, looking at a flowmaster online store on E-bay which setup do I need to fit my exhaust. I already know since it'll be a shorter muffler a shop would have to do some minor customizing to make them fit right. Do I need 2.5'' offset out or offset in and centered out?

I'd say the offset out would probably fit better. Regardless you'd be best off taking them to a muffler shop and having custom pipes made, and you'll need new hangers too.
Ya know, if you want something that will just bolt directly on, Cherry Bomb already makes it...

That's the "extreme" axle back which has cherry bomb's version of the 1-chamber.

I'm across the state from ya. Suburbs of Kansas City, MO. And I did account that custom pipes will have to be made to compesnsate for the difference in muffler size. Thanks for the advice and i'll look into that cherry bomb. I love the un hooked muffler sound but don't like the low end grunt I lose from it. At the same time I want to also have a full axle back that comes dang close to sound level and aggression but retain the back pressure and have some of that deep chambered echo. Hence why I'm considering 10 series.

Ok guys, I got the Super 10 series installed at a local shop yesterday. I'll get around to making a video of her monday when I'm off work. Everything about it is AMAZING. There's only one down fall. High amount of drone around 1800-2000rpms. I'm wondering if there's some sound deadening method I could do to the undercarriage to even help reduce it just a little bit and I would be completely happy.

Compared to SLP Loudmouths I saved money. I got both mufflers off an E-bay store for $130. Then it only costed $100 to have them installed. Alot of the SLP kits I see sold on Brenspeed or American Muscle are over $300. That's crazy for some straight pipe that won't get you any distinct tone. I love these 10 series and I can handle some drone. I just want to lower the amount inside the cab just a bit.
