Default Muffler Suggestions

Hey Guys!
I was looking at picking up a new muffler and was looking at a few of them. I was looking at a Spec-D N1-style muffler, a Megan Racing Stainless Steel 2.5" inle & NRG Innovations muffler. I want a nice deep sound I'm not tryna have my car sound like a rice cup. LOL. Then I was going to go to my local muffler shop and just have them bend me a custom cat back system. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

I bought a muffler and resonator like 6 months ago and was planning to go this route as well, but I can't find anybody in my area who will do the bending and welding for what I consider a decent price.

I just googled "Spec-D N1-style muffler" and if you put that on your car I will look for you, I will find you, and I will cut it off.

what engine do you have? The magnaflow on the 2.8 are very popular and has great low growl. You can go on youtube and check them out.

If its a 2.8, check the sights and sounds subforum here. I put up a couple videos of my setup.

Yeahh that's with bent stainless but without the downpipe though. If you look hard enough you can prolly find a good muffler shop somewhere.

magnaflow/vibrant if you're ballin' on a budget like most of us. otherwise if you feel like shelling out the money, there is no better sound than an Eisenmann exhaust.
