dude if you're getting a muffler just go generic ... i wouldnt spend over $50 for a plain muffler. You can get a full cat back for like $450

I just don't get some people who put cheap generic stuff on their cars. Go big or go home, if you cared for your car to do it in the first place then put in the money. Don't settle on some junk just to have it burn out, backfire, rattle and rust on you and embarrass you two months from today then try to sell it to some sucker on EBay.

It looks like this is a good muffler and I have heard some good things about it and nothing bad either but I'm also in the market for an exhaust (meaning I don't know squat).

thats a nice muffler, the only problem with muffler is that when u install it, u have to cut the stock piping and weld the new one on, and most shops will charge you at least one hour for that, while if u get an excel back, u can probebly instal it yourself cause its a bolt on
