Re: **New Muffler**
well it all depends on what kind of sound you want. more japenese tuned mufflers have a higher pitched raspy sound when you get on it. Your european mufflers tend to have a very deep sound when at idle and get softer as you get higher up the rpms, and your american mufflers tend to be deep the whole way. For japanese you can get a apexi n1 like mentioned before, i know the 5zigen is pretty good and light and i think hks, blitz, tanabe and jic all sell universal mufflers. For euro you got remus, bosal and a few others that i'm forgetting. American you have your flowmaster, dynomax and magnaflow. You have some side brands that tend to be pretty good as well such as ac autotechnic, hayame and tsudo. Pretty much any muffler that you pay under 100 for isn't going to be made the best, ebay is an exception if you get a good brand aforementioned above. I have had good experience with ac autotechnics, flowmaster 60 series and dynomax, i've heard very good things from any of the major japenese companies as well as magnaflow. The choice is yours just do some research, a lot of companies have sound clips you can hear of certain cars equiped with that muffler. Whatever is the best price and quality matters the most. Get stainless steel! And everyone is right by saying you might as well just replace all the exhaust up to the cat for the best performance gain. If you don't want something too loud just get an inline resonator(pre muffler) put in to quiet things down.
