Default muffler options
Can someone recommend me a decent bullet-style muffler? I'm in need of a secondary muffler, because the car is still too loud.

I called up ws6store.com and they told me that this muffler: http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=1141 would not do much to make my car quieter.

Put a Magnaflow #14419 in the I-pipe, and/or 1 (#10416 2.5" in/out) in each after muffler tail pipe.

It won't radically reduce the loudness but it'll be noticeable.

in addition to reducing noise level, i'm trying to get it to be a little less raspy.

anyone else have experience with that muffler?

Borla XR1 #40085 in place of the resonator, a little quieter but much better tone.

If you want a 5" diameter muffler like Borla #40085, Magnaflow has the #12867 for about $25 less than the Borla, but a 4" diameter muffler will fit in the I-pipe location better.

The Borla XR1s have a awesome tone, if it were me, I would put it on.
