Question Muffler recommendation for a straight piped FB

Ive had this monza muffler for quite some time now on my straight piped FB, and it sounds like pure weedwacker from hell now and is very "tinny" sounding. I want something deeper, and i dont mind loud, i like being very loud, and im in Florida so i have no pollution tests. What would be the best muffler for me? I know about the racing beat one and the magna flow, anything else out there that will give me a deeper tone and not that metal tinny sound. I like the **** of a rotary, just not that aweful metal noise these cheap mufflers give off.

Magnaflow is really good also. I'd suggest some resonators too, they're not expensive. Your looking at $200 prolly tops.

Muffler for straight pipe......hmmm....how 'bout another piece of pipe

I'm running 2.5" straight pipe on my 12aTurbo, only "muffler" is a straight through, completely unrestrictive presilencer.

I'm gonna stick with my answer. If you don't care how loud it is then don't put a muffler on there.

I have straight pipes with the RB muffler. & header.
Its very "quiet below around 4k, but you give it some gas and let it rev... sounds VERY nice, and can be heard for quite a while.
Also the quality of the RB muffler is hands down the best your gonna find.

I've tried these (all w/ RB header):
RB "high performance" single for much better than stock not obnoxious
duel Dynomax w/ duel glasspacks for rotary "splatter"
4 dynomaxes for nondescript loud
RB "SP" duel for ultimate throaty, raspy

I have the same setup, and yes, very quiet until you step on it.

I love the RB SP setup, Makes me all giddy every time i start my car. I can't help it, I go out and sit in the driveway just to hear my exhaust sometimes, lol.

yea i too am a huge magnaflow fan. ESPECIALLY on the turbo setup. on an n/a you can run a single magna and it will sound good, but is still pretty loud. run two inline and its' sooooooo niiice!
