zbo456, save some more $ and buy a Racing Beat muffler, its sounds very nice and it'll last you a long time.

a good sized stainless or mild steel magnaflow can be picked up for 50-70 dollars. Sounds deep and nice and provides good performance from its straight through design. Probably not as quiet as the RB muffler though.

Well do you want a good sound or a rice sound? Because rice mufflers go on ebay for dirt cheap. I got one for $30 and I love it. Its 8 inch diameter so its a real low tone.

i would say go with the racing beat muffler because even though u can get a crappy n1 style on ebay it would be tilited down slightly and not have a real rice look.....plus u will need to go to a shop and have it welded on and would end up sosting i would say $130 after shipping on the muffler too.....so save up and get the racing beat thats what im doin now and im getin the cat pipe too....

I have a Magnaflow s/s with the dual outlets with a midrange s/s resinator and it sounds good. It might be a little loader than a RB, but looks nice and sounds great. Performance Peddlers on eBay carries them,

Your best bet is a nice Magnaflow muffler. There isn't much else that can get the same kinda tone as a Magnaflow. IMO, not even the RB muffler sounds as nice as a magnaflow. They are just REAL deep sounding, with a very smooth tone. I have an 18" long magnaflow with a turbo style muffler as a presilencer and 3" pipes in between. Large diameter pipes are known to sound very tinny on rotaries, but my car has less of a tinny sound than a car with an N1 style muffler and stock pipe diameter.

No they don't, I've been running an ebay n1 style for almost 2 years now, not burnt up. It never has quieted much(unless silencer is in, then it does a lot but kills power on a turbo motor) but it won't burn up.

I'm happy with my Magnaflow, but it is too loud for street use. OR it would be if I cared about such things.
