Hey guys.

Seeing what you guys thought about the best muffler back (if that's what you call it) system is out there. I currently have a set-up with a stainless magnaflow muffler/tip but I'm looking for something a little more aggressive. But not something that's going to get me easily pulled over haha. ****I DO NOT WANT TO SOUND LIKE RICE****

I have DP with a highflow cat. I'm not looking for a cat-back system for reasons of a) not in my budget and b) our systems are already 2.5" stainless and I see no reasoning why to not keep it!

Any recommendations?

hmm... louder than magnaflow but not over the top like a muffler delete....

To be honest id do something like alot of SRT 4 guys do, run 2 resonators in the middle of the car, then no muffler out the back!

Or a Borla XR1 i believe its called theres a vid of it here:

I put a Pypes M-80 on my ride and it sounds awesome. No rasp and no drone while cruising but definitely has a nice tone. Stainless steel too



I have video, just need to find time to upload it.

LOL I don't see one that is listed for the Cobalt SS/TC, a part number would be nice.

dude its a muffler, they dont have to be car specific haha

I bought a set of axle-backs for my Mustang and they were car specific.

that's axle back, not just a muffler

metroplex

If you look at the setup on the Cobalt, it's the same as the Mustang. You have the axle back muffler (tip and hangers included), the over-the-axle pipe, and then the pipe that connects to the cat pipe/down pipe.

no one makes an axle back for a stock SS/TC exhaust as far as I know.

ARK might have before but they don't any more.

Ive actually heard some good stuff about those flowmaster mufflers, saw one on a HHR SS dude said it sounded great.

They're amazing. The ultimate rasp killer. I have a zzp lt, CATLESS, 3" with a manga flow res and 3" DBX. Zero rasp once warmed up. People call bs till they hear it in person.
