Re: would just this muffler give me better sound

get a full exhaust system. it will look better and sound better. you will spend more than you want, but thats the price you pay for a nice exhaust.

Re: would just this muffler give me better sound

you want to know the truth? it will sounds cool at first but then later sound like ****. its an egay muffler, theres a reason its cheap. the packing and baffle will wear out so quickly on that muffler its not even funny. trust me ive had my share of exhausts. i suggest saving up for brand name muffler: hks, apexi, greddy, magnaflow etc and get custom piping done instead of hacking up your stock exhaust. or save up for a full catback.

Re: would just this muffler give me better sound

err... just cuz it looks like that doesnt mean it will sound like a raspy fart cannon.. mine is deep as a mother ****er, and i have custom 2.25'' from header back. even have my cat, a resonator, and a flex joint...

i even just had a muffler on stock piping and it sounded nice too. wasnt raspy at all, but had a nice low humb... never got loud tho, till i opened her up.

Re: would just this muffler give me better sound

Buy just a rear section exhaust "aka" axle-back(google it).A decent one will cost around $150-200 but they look and sound way better than a fart can and are not as expensive as buying a cat-back.Also they are a direct bolt on so no welding
Fart can = rice ... there's no way around it

Re: would just this muffler give me better sound

its better to save your money for the name brand, i bought some jdm emblems for my civic off ebay and they looked like crap, the red wasnt even red it was orange, so in the long run it cost me more money.
