Default Just bought cme. Need advice :)

Hey everyone. So i just purchased oem cme exhaust. What muffler would you guys recommend? I want something that sounds good but isn't really loud since My car is a rag top. Also My car is stock performance wise. Thanks

Magnaflow is quiet yet aggressive. Borla is more aggressive and SLP is stupid lol

It depends on the style of muffler as well. Small bullet style ones will be much louder than the traditional big rear mount ones. What style are you wanting?

Are we talking aggressive tone all the time or just when you hit it? magnaflow like mentioned is deep and tame cruising and opens up loud full throttle. I run an SLP loudmouth 1 with stock manifolds and cats with a 224 cam and it's about the same loudness as when I ran LTs/ORY/magnaflow on a stock internal engine. But you just get more resonance when cruising if anything and just sounds badass when you put more foot in it.

Yeah, aggressive all the time as long as it's not really loud. I plan on getting mods in the future my car Is pretty much stock for now. It sounds like I cant go wrong with the mangaflow or the borla

I think that's a good baseline for you to louden it up a bit and you can go from there. Adding an off-road pipe and headers also will make it louder too. I'm afraid when I install LTs and off-road pipe on my current setup it's going to be Very noisy but should be fun lol.
