If you have an FD, I wouldn't put cheap muffler on. This is a no brand name muffler that when purchase you have to take it to a muffler shop to get it welded. And most likely the pipes are puny as fucg...

apexi is great quality....but it sounds like someone farting into a 5-gallon paint bucket.

yea, i'd buy the hks (hi-power is it?) if it didn't have that ghetto 5 inch tip... VERY nice sounding though, and quiet as far as flow through's are concerned.

get a racing beat downpipe and pre-silencer, then have the local muffler shop bend you a 3" pipe out to the back.
crunchy under load and resonant during cruise.

noise level is about on par with the apexi stuff
