    Performance of Ebay muffler vs. TRD muffler?

    I have a 01 Corolla S. Right now i have have a cheap $50 dollar Ebay muffler with a 4" tip and 2 1/4" inlet.... i have a K&N High Flow Filter 2 1/4" pipe and can beat my friends Grand Prix with duals and most Hondas I raced that are around..but not sayin much cuz my cars not fast either. Would a TRD muffler increase my horsepower and low end power because my car doesn't start pullin hard till a little over 3k and redlines at 6200. Would the extra money be worth it for the TRD?

    The TRD muffler will sound better and look better IMO but performance gains are nothing to write home about.

    BTW, I have one on my 99. Now if I could find my stock one, I'm going to get rid of the TRD. The corolla is almost back to stock. :D
