Good muffler?

[sumenlo]

couldn't decide if this should go in the hangout or the newbie forum, so sorry if I picked the wrong one. I'm looking for a good sounding aftermarket muffler. I already have 3" turbo back exhaust with a test pipe. The muffler currently on there is some custom piece of crap that doesn't look that good. I want a better looking one that is relatively free flowing but that doesn't sound obnoxious. I like loud, just not obnoxious. anybody got any suggestions?

Anything but Flowmaster will work good for your car. Megan Racing, Magnaflow, Thermal, Powertech..whatever.

RS*R Exmag. This thing will make your car sound like a friggin race car. I am trying to save enough to get the catback for my car.

I'd love to see your hard facts to support this comment. Maybe take a look at my comment in this thread:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106018&highlight=Flowmaster

I am going to take a minute here and stick up for the crew out at Flowmaster, particularily for the R&D Department. For those of you that don't know, one of the main men over in the R&D Department is a man by the name is Kevin McClelland. Kevin's father has done much of the announcing for NHRA events over the years, so you may recognize the name. After working with Kevin on a custom exhaust system for a project here at school, he is one of the most knowledgeable men, if not the most knowledgeable man I have ever talked to when it comes to exhaust and engines as a whole. From what I have been told, he also one of the most knowledgable men in the country when it comes to overall engine building, which I have no trouble believing. When you guys sit here and downplay Flowmaster, are the mufflers that you are downplaying specifically made for a 4 cylinder forced induction vehicle, particularily a DSM? As I browse through the Flowmaster website I do not come upon and muffler or exhaust system specifically made for a 4G63T. Now I'm sure some of you are thinking, "bla bla bla," I know that Flowmaster mufflers will never work worth a sh*t on turbo DSMs because they're some 'specific type', I don't care. When the day comes that I need to compile/build an exhaust system, Flowmaster will be the first company I call up for consultation in a muffler. If they can't help me, I will move onto other options out there, but I sure as hell am not going to downplay Flowmaster simply because somebody stuck a generic Flowmaster muffler on a 4G63T and it did not work as optimally as desired.

I have a 3inch N1 turboback and I could not be happier. I am extremely pleased with the sound (and more importantly the performance) of the N1. Besides, when it comes to visual affect, I think the N1 is second to none.

Magnaflow. I love the sound of my exhaust. Actually quite quiet until you get on it but even then its not excessively loud.

i also have the apex-i N1 system (no cat) and my friend has a custom 3" (no cat) w/ the N1 muffler and they sound completly different his is like a tractor at idle were as mine is more of a slight buzz i agree that the N1 is second to none just remember that the system and just a muffler is going to sound different
