Default Which muffler?

I'm getting a new exhaust put on in a couple weeks and I'm curious to see what mufflers others are running on there T/A's. I'm looking for something that's not painfully loud/annoying but still loud. I have a stock cam, longtubes being put on with a custom 3" ORX/H pipe. Thanks in advance.

so are you doing a true dual setup? id say go with either Borla XR1's or Magnaflow rounds/ 5x8's.

What does everybody think about cherry bomb glasspacks? I've heard these and they sound pretty nice.

This really should be in the Gen III External forum, but first you should try doing a search for "mufflers" and other related key words. This is topic has been discussed many times previously.
