Subs or muffler?

today i found a good deal on a pair of subs, box, and amplifier.
2 12 inch rockford fosgate PUNCH subs
Box
Power Acoustic 2 channel amplifier with 260 Watts per channel
and High to Low converter
The total cost including tax and installation is 571 dollars which is a really good deal. But it is still a lot of money.
I also was thinking about getting a muffler, but I don't have money for a muffler and subwoofer system.

I would like the rumbling sound of the exhaust, but I would also like the bass from the subwoofers. I don't know which one to choose.

Yeah, I was in the same situation as you were. I made the bad choice of going with the subs. Now that I think, I would have much rather had a muffler. So I say go with the muffler

Cut off muffer and get custom piping.

Not Worth It.
And just putting muffler itself would be pointless without bigger diameter b-pipe.
Otherthan, loud noise..

Nothing will line up.
7thgen rear axle back is totally different than 5thgen.

well, if u listen to music a lot, the audio would be the good choice.

muffler wont do anythin much unless its a catback or exhaust system. i chose my audio over the exhaust becuz i rather have loud music then loud muffler.
