If you don't want to go the Magnaflow route & want a good , cheap alternative - go with a straight-through (i.e. not baffled) glasspack muffler . It will get rid of all your rasp & drone & will give the car a deeper growl , while only increasing the sound output of the car very slightly (i.e. not annoying on long trips) . I've run this setup for several years now and am very pleased with it . Buck-for-buck it's a great mod ! ~~~~~~~ Phil Black & Tan 2000 SVT Contour #2137 of 2150 35,000 miles & counting !
