Muffler Recommendations

BayLegend · 04-19-09, 05:30 PM

ive been researching many different mufflers on AL and on youtube but im not sure on which muffler to buy. im looking for a sound that is deep and throaty, not loud but not quiet stock sounding either, dual tips and especially not rice sounding! budget is less than $200. remus and stromung are out of the picture due to high cost. (and i know they both sound badass!)
im leaning towards a dynmax super turbo or some type of magnaflow but most magnaflows out there sound too rice. the flowmaster super 40 muffler sounds great but it sounds too loud in the videos but not sure how loud it is in real life.
if anyone could throw out some recommendations that'll be great, also posting videos would be perfect! thanks!

I bought a Vibrant Performance muffler a little while ago. It was only $100 and they sound pretty sweet on 6 cylinders. There's a video on here of someone with a Vibrant and it sounds good.

I'll post a sound clip once I get all the 2.5 piping done.

Im about to go with a Magnaflow. I cant remember the model number but they have one that sounds like the Infinity G35's on LEGENDS.

Magnaflow 14815, is the one a lot of us use. I can vouch for it, not ricey.

Alperovich · 04-20-09, 09:00 AM

vibrant mufflers ftw. magnaflow sound terrible on everysingle car i've ever hurd it on. period. also they use cheap construction and r inferior in everyway.

i paid $150 for mine, it was this one

nice, it should look sweet in your panda. my old muffler is in my boss's coupe and the black looks sick with the cashmere silver too.

I was trying to talk jen into a vibrant and she almost got one but ended up with something else. oh well

This is the best price I found on that particular muffler.

They're taking a minute to ship it though.

Is your budget flexible over time? If so I say just pay for the best (IMO Stromung) and cry once. Trust me me you won't regret it. Stromung GB Spring '09

One...

PM'd for further one on one discussion

Wow! That Vibrant didnt sound bad at all. Im going to have to consider it. Thanks.

my recommendation would b to save and get a rev 3 (remus) for $400(thats how much i got mine for. but if worse comes to worse get the magnaflow 14815. in my opinion its the best looking and soundng muffler next to the rev 3 and stromung. also stock piping vs. 2.5 inch custom piping, stock cat or hi flo cat and if u got headers or str8 stock will dictate how it sounds as well.
