I haven't heard that setup before, but you could try youtube for some audio clips.

I do not have that exact sound clip but it will sound similar to a car running boom tubes with the stock manifolds. Here is a clip running that set up. It will sound good though, I love the boom tube sound.

Ok, wish i could have gotten LTs but i picked up these shorties for $80 brand new so im gonna go with them

And yeah, im gonna install them with my dad instead of paying someone. Hopefully all will go smooth.

i have boom tubes with stock manifolds and it is probably one of the best sounding axle backs for the s197 with hardly any drone

If its anywhere close to my current sound im sure i will be more then happy with them. No mufflers at all sounds good but it drones alot.
I got faked out by UPS today, saw the truck leaving my neighborhood when i was coming home and got a little excited, then i realized its only been about 48 hours since i ordered them

boomtubes arrived today. They have a few scratches on them but nothing noticeable so its no big deal. Both of them have dents where the baffle if welded to the polished part but again not too noticeable. My question is are the hangers supposed to be different looking?
I dont recall how my stock mufflers were but on these the left and right hangers are not symmetrical.

heres a pic:
