best weld-in muffler?

I want to get your opinions on what the best sounding muffler to get? I dont care about performance because to be honest there isn't any, so I just want sound lol

I want a nice deep-ish tone, no rasp. lol

I had a vibrant on my cobalt that I liked. figured I would just try to keep the factory tip also

I have a Flo-Pro muffler on my car. Sounds good IMO, not ricey, and not super loud.

Megan Racing OE-RS is a nice muffler along with Apexi WS2 universal muffler. Look them up on youtube and listen to them on Integras and Civics. If they can make them sound that good then imagine would it would sound like on our cars. Plus they actually flow decent for a chambered exhaust.

I went with the dynomax super turbo muffler. It has a nice low tone and zero rasp at a great price as well. This is the exact one you would need for your car.

yes you're gonna want a chambered muffle to give it that deep tone. i had a Super Turbo on my car for a while, and it sounded nice and deep. now i have the Megan and its almost too loud. i may go back at some point.

Magnaflows sound great on these cars, I had an 18" magnaflow muffler on mine and sounded great, deep tone, no rasp, quiet at idle but opens up when you put your foot into it
