cant decide.. what presilencer?

like most FB owners... IM on a budget! well kinda.
i just put a 2.5in Magnaflow muffer on my car. I knew it was gonna be loud, but not THIS LOUD. i know for sure that my 10yr old glasspacks are dead. i wanna get the RB presilencers but DAMNN!! way way way too much for me right now. what else can i work with?
btw. i have a stock SE 6port, Weber sidedraft, RB roadrace header collected just before the axle.

Find a used Borla muffler and use it as a presilencer.

Search this section to find out which model you need. (I think it's X something)

RB muffler makes the biggest difference.

If there's one thing I can not tollerate it's slow loud cars. And there ain't much slower and louder than a stock FB with a header and ghetto exhaust.

I didn't choose for it to be that loud, it just happened. I am about to change the muffler to something alot quieter.

Use a Borla muffler, they sound great, and just slightly louder than stock.
