flowmasters sound good but are the worst flowing mufflers out....go with magnaflow or borla....but if u really want it to breath and want to stay with a Cat-Back go with the TSP rumbler or SLP LM....but if i was u and it was legal id go with TSP's TD system

Magnaflow, there website lists a Direct fit muffler for our cars, also do a search for Maganflow, there's a company in Canada I bought mine from, very resonabley priced.

The best sounding muffler would be either the Dynomax bullet or the Flowmaster Sweet Thunder... I've always liked the bullets the best, which is why I got them on my system

My Corsa muffler did the same thing. I replaced it with a Hooker Aerochamber for $89. I'm very pleased with the Hooker, it's deeper than the Corsa but not as much volume at WOT. It still sounds very good and gets attention. I don't miss my Corsa much at all.

Can't go wrong with stainless Magnaflow, nice refined sound and not too loud.
