Help Me Choose a Muffler

Alright, I'm gonna buy a muffler from dezod. I want it mainly for looks, have a deep or no sound, and I love the way slanted tips look. Anyone have any suggestions, pics, or sound clips of the mufflers that can be found at this page?

http://dezod.com/cat_universal.cfm

Thanks in advanced!

Don't buy just a muffler, it will sound like my john deer weed-wacker. Buy the HKS axle back if your not getting a catback exhaust system.

If you want a silent muff, it is always best to choose a muffler closest in measurements, dimensions and inlet/outlet configurations with OEM mufflers.

Try this universal muffs from Magnaflow.

The cat backs I like either don't fit the LX or is more than I wanna spend. I want it to look good so I wanna get something bigger than the OEM exhaust.

incubus7d: Thanks for the suggestions, I like them both! I've narrowed my choices down to the DC Sports Universal Muffler, Skunk 2 Mega Power Universal Muffler, and the Tanabe Hyper Spec Universal Muffler. Anyone have sound clips and/or pics from these?

Out of those 3.... I would have to say it's a tie between Tanabe Hyper Spec Universal Muffler & Skunk 2 Mega Power Universal Muffler. Since you don't really care, just pick the one that looks ''cooler'' to you. IMO, cat-back would be the best way to go, but since u wanna be cheap, get whatevers you want!!!

I just don't see a point in getting a cat-back, I'll just lose low end but gain high end. I rather just kept it even and save a few hundred bucks.

Does that HKS axleback come out at an angle??
