Looking for a good sounding muffler that isnt insanely expensive. Any favorites here?

Thanks!

I like my magnaflow but I think the borla or corsa sound best, however I've only ever heard their cat backs on cobalts, never just a muffler on stock exhaust

The dynomax super turbo muffler sounds good and you can get one for under $50 on summitracing.com

Don"t do it man. You'll regret it trust me. Plus it'll make your car extremely loud and you'll loose hp because of no backpressure.

Yah no don't.

I have a ZZP Midlength and highflow Cat with the Megan Cat back. its fun setting off car alarms, but it is too loud to have a conversation with someone sitting in the back seat.

My fav is the XR-1 Borla... Assuming you have 2.5" piping it's about $153.56 for the 16" oval.

There is no joint there from the factory so you won't see anything marketed. Only place you can unbolt is the base of the downpipe, so it's full cat-back if you want to buy an already made system or custom if you just want the muffler changed.

CTI makes a 2.5" over the axle pipe. But that requires cutting the stock pipe and welding
