dont forget to rep me for all the help but i did hear some stuff about those mufflers or at least some type of magnaflow one, i heard it sounds good, not that fart can sound or anything so i think that might be a good idea if you want a magnaflow exhaust otherwise theres better brands than that out there but whatever suits you best

hmm...well the dude says it sounds good. go ahead and get it. get the muffler and goto a shop and tell them to make you a custom exhaust piping. cheaper way of getting a catback.

The sound of an exhaust isn't completely dependant on just the muffler.... the piping can affect it as well.

Cleanest way to get sound is use good piping... 304 Stainless steel manderal bent. Use a magnaflow resonator too.

If you use regular steel piping and have it crush bent it might sound like **** even if you put an nice muffler on at the end.

i have the rsr exhaust (no resonator) and it sounds real good. its mostly the muffler that determines sound. pipes just carry the air, while the resonator and muffler make it quiet.

I have the magnaflow cat back...it looks like the one on the top left. Its sounds good and deep but thats only because it comes with the resinator. Im not sure about any of their bolt on mufflers tho, but I love my cat-back.

Thats actually the same exhaust muffler I was lookin at on ebay. I actually think its cheaper on ebay coz its 89.88 shipped. I do plan on doing the same thing as u with the cutom piping instead of paying that much for a catback.
