Anyone running an Aero muffler?

I'm redoing my exhaust and am trying to juggle as little restriction as possible with as little noise as possible. I realize that those two don't really go together, but I believe in sound deflection and absorbtion as opposed to flow restriction, for controlling sound - more on that another time perhaps. Anyway, I am curious if anyone is running an Aero muffler or Dynomax Ultraflow, (offset/offset style), and how loud they consider it.

I don't know of anyone in my time here running aero mufflers. They cost alittle too much. I would recommend borla over them any day though, because borla is quieter and the contour sounds amazing with them installed.

Ultra flow are good mufflers and again they give a really unique sound. I only heard this muffler on a single exit se contour. It did sound way different than what i am used too thats for sure.

Both will give you a unique quiet sound and give you good flow. Good choices man. If our planning on paying that high of price, i would recommend a borla muffler from my personal choice. I love the way they sound!! Hands down.

im going to be running a single aero 2540i muffler on my zetec. should be ordering it tonight. the average price i found it for was about $125 which is way cheaper than a good borla muffler.

If i like it i may try a single 2525 in place of the resonator with a pair of Monza resonated tips on the SVT.

my buddy with a 04 jetta gli, put a 3" exhaust with a magnaflow resonator and a some kind of quiet flow dynamax and its just a tad louder, still quiet around town but nice growl when he gets on it, and once he got his car tuned he made great gains with no addition sound really

I hear ya on the sound. A friend of mine had a Borla exhaust on his 95 Z28 and that thing was one of the sweetest sounding cars I've ever heard. I'm looking at keeping the cost to around $100 though, and I don't think I could buy a Borla logo for that!

Thanks for the input guys.

Tell me your size inlet/outlet offset on each end. ANd i will help you

Borla mufflers are around 120

I agree that aero has good muffler internal passage designs. Which reminds me of edelbrocks prior work. So i'm a fan

really? all the prices i see for 2.5" in/out center/center are at least $160 or higher.

Look at 'wicked nicky exhaust' for the best prices I've found on Borla.
I held the Aeros at my friend's muffler shop and they look like a quality design.

3"... I know the consensus is that 2.5" is optimal but once I get around the tank, I'm doing a gradual expansion to 3". So I'm looking at a 3" inlet on the muffler.

So what are some opinions on which muffler would offer the most sound deadening? If I go with the Dynomax, it will NOT be the exact one pictured but will have an offset inlet AND offset outlet.

I'm leaning toward the last aero pictured - the 156. Either of the two above it are big tanks & would be a tight fit, plus I think I like the inner Y design the best anyway. It seems to me that it would do the most sound deadening/absorbing of the different designs. I've also thrown around possibly getting an inner X & making my own dual-pass but that might take me a little farther past my $100 budget than I'm willing to go.
