    muffler wars

    im inthe market for an exhaust and wanted 2 kno wut kinda mufflers u guys have and how you describe the sound?

    , right now im lookin at a magnaflow stainless with a 4" slant cut round tip,

    the sound im looking for is one that isnt too loud and obviously not the fart
    can, i want a deep low hum at normal speeds but a performance growl when i slam it

    suggestions and comments appreciated

    actually i prefer the sound of a cammed 4ag with any aftermarket exhaust over all sr20's i've heard.....

    my ae92 has a 40 series flowmaster, resonator, high flow cat, and 4-2-1 header.... sounds good

    the aw11 has some shitty muffler..... less than a foot of exhaust piping and it exits kinda at the side..... sounds like crap, but it pushes an amazing amount of exhaust (enough that my friend trying to keep up felt it through his open window)... sounds decent when i'm on it, but WAAAAAY over the legal limit

    My TRD muffler is perfect. It's has a nice low almost non existent grumble until ya give it some of the right foot love and it sounds awesome :D Even better is that it came with the cert that says it is legal :D

    Custom make everything. If you know someone that works at a muffler shop, they can do almost anything for your exhaust. Best of all, it's affordable.

    How about the exhaust system from magnaflow shown on ptuning website? You got complete system from header to muffler, 2''¼, with a high flow resonator. Never heard how it sounds though... The small tips gives a nice look and it's bolt on. put a ELP or JP header and you'Re in business.

    DC sports is also currently making it's own for our 2003+ rolla.

    I forgot to ask, do you have a 9thgen?

    She has a thermal. I think i paid $200 for it. It's part of the full cat-back system they offer.

    I know. I said it was part of the cat-back system they offered. I guess I can see where that sounded sorta vague.
