Which muffler?

I am wanting to change the exhaust tone of my car but don't want anything too ricey... was just wondering which muffler everyone recommends running?

if I can just get a little deeper tone and nice rumble when I left off the gas, i'll be more than happy....

yeah I need to know sizes for the stock catback...

is the inlet and outlet 2.5"? and of course, what are the proper offsets?

Borla XR-1 is very deep sounding imo.. i like it better than stock. Bad camera, bad sound, but you get the picture. There is another guy on here that has a video up on you tube... inspired me to get mine.

so how do I need the offsets? I figure a 12" muffler with a 2.5" inlet and a 2.5" outlet will work but do I need center to center or what on the offsets? it'll be on the stock catback

Dynomax super turbo has a nice deep sound. Only problem is that it is not as loud as most guys on here want. I like mine a little more quiet than most.

Do you have an SC or a TC? It says 06 SC but I see turbo mods listed. Turbo swap?

we need the inlet to be centered and the outlet to be offset, right? and if so, the only XR-1 I can find like that has 3" inlet and outlets, which won't fit the stock catback
