Performance Muffler Recomendation

I have a 84 GSL (getting its motor replaced at the moment) with RB header and presilencer. I am in need of a muffler that will flow well and sound good? What are you guys running and what would you recomend? What muffler do you think sounds good?

Power Pulse! Power Pulse! Power Pulse! Power Pulse!

Hands down best choice... It's the same muller sold my RB, MazdaTrix, Rx7.com etc etc....

Quite and actually mellow at idle, and throaty when you open it up. Kinda reminds me of an air cooled 911 sound.

You got the RB system, why not go all the way with the Power Pulse muffler. It is the quietest hi-flow I believe you can get. Unless noise is not a factor then a straight-thru design flows the max like Apex N1, Ultra Flow, etc.

Good choice, but I chose the fart cannon approach LOL

I like the look on my buddy's face (usually deals with ford v8's) when I started it, he was like holy **** thats loud LOL

The turbo quiets it down a lot! I've heard a muffled 13B 4-port that was louder than an unmuffled TII.

I sold my power pulse in favor of a custom supertrapp-type muffler; but I regret that.
