Default muffler question?
I have a magna flow cat back. I want to swap the muffler out for something with more sound. Does anyone know if there's a direct fit muffler that will work with my magna flow piping? Any suggestions on brand etc would be great, I want a muffler that flows at least the same or better. Thx in advance!

If you want better flow with a deeper smoother sound, you could look into adding a merge pipe into the crappy Pecesetter

I'd look into an electric cutout, you can control how loud you want it, and frees up a couple ponies.

Pulling the cats is going to change the sound a lot. Exhaust will be raspy. Putting in a 1 foot section of 4" pipe after your merge collector will alter the sound also.

Cats will definitely keep the sound down, but I think the LM sounds good on generally stock cars.
