I switched to the Magnaflow #14267. I love it. It's stainless, straight-thru design, and it sounds great without the drone.

Wow, I personally think the Flowmaster 80 series is quiet. Trust me, you wouldn't even remember the drone of the flowmaster muffler if you had the SLP Loudmouth.

To answer your question, a Magnaflow or Hooker aerochamber muffler would definitely do the trick. Nice deep sound without the drone of the flowmaster. You'll also get a little more performance and their both cheap.

All flowmasters in my opinion are quiet...a good exhaust to invest in is the SLP dual/dual...has a nice sound to it and makes good HP & TQ

About 3 hours ago I had a Corsa exhaust installed on my Z. At cruising speeds there is very little drone, barely more than stock. When you hit the gas well...........it's fun.
