I was thinking of replacing my stock muffler. I was just wondering if anyone had any sugguestions on which is best. I want one that isn't raspy or honda like. Just one that sounds deep but not loud at loud speed, sorta like a 'sleeper' muffler.

Did you like the sound of my muffler/system? (Black Mystique). It's a Flowmaster 40 and the system is with an inline resonator routed with 2.5" stainless. The muffler itself cost $40. No rice here.

You might want to look at DynoMax Ultra Flow.
It has a deep mellow rumble at idle and low RPM, but if you walk on it, it doesn't get too loud. Not a bad setup. You might want to take a listen to a few of the other members cars though. It's a personal taste thing.

I have my old cat back dual exhaust sitting in my garage. Sell it for $100 bucks. It was cut in two in the section just under the rear suspension. That was done so I could get it home but it can be sleeved and welded.

It has 2 Flo Pro mufflers and a glass pack. The mufflers were $125 each. It has 2@ 3" chrome tips too. You just need to build a right side rear muffler hanger. Any shop can do it. If you are willing to go to Oakville, I can arrange to have the system installed.

Hi Chris, I may be interested. Need more details though - ie, what size is the piping, is it mandrel-bent, etc. Also, do you have any sound clips of your car with this setup?

Thanks.

I would certainly be interested. I'm just curious aswell on how it sounds. Other than that I'll take it.

There are lots of sound files on Project SE with that exhaust on the car. The most recent were taken with the 3" chrome tips. Read through the comments and you'll be able to pick out which files. Sorry the sound quality wasn't the best.

2" stock mandrel bent stainless steel pipe except for the right side rear and the glass pack area which were done in aluminized pipe.
All the sounds are at the following locations.

It's sitting in my garage (in Brampton) so if you would like to come get it, you can get it here.

Email me cawong11@yahoo.com to discuss and for directions.

Chris
