Im not looking for a ****ty, obnoxiously loud muffler, but something that has a deep tone and sounds good. I want it loud but not ****ty sounding. Im debating on basically these 2. Feel free to express opinions, or even linking other mufflers that are for sale that fit my needs.
thanks

These are exactly what im debating on buying

and http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOTA-SUPR...sspagenameZWDVW
I also noticed some mufflers with the burnt tips... i havent seen it in real life and i was wondering if they are nice looking

you don't want something that sounds crappy, but you are looking at the crappy mufflers. Check out Magnaflow's sport mufflers. They have a name you can trust, not the eBay special.

EDIT: burnt tip mufflers are sex. My brother had one on his Legacy and it was to drool over.

I would think HKS and OBX are good brands.. correct me if im wrong
I heard the HKS hi-power is really nice

that isn't an HKS exhaust. It is an HKS Styled exhaust. Do you honestly think anyone in their right mind would sell an HKS muffler for 20 bucks? laugh.gif laugh.gif

Here is a clip of my exhaust. 2.25" back from stock header with a ractive muffler.

Yeah dude, if you want deep sound that isn't crappy then Magnaflow is the way to go. Check out their site, and listen to the sample of some of the cars on there. They don't have our car, but it should give you a decent idea. I've used Magnaflow in the past and plan to continue using them in the future.

I got a Megan Racing N1 muffler that is similar to the OBX N1 and it has a deep exhaust tone the isn't obnoxiously loud or has that irritating bee-like exhaust tone.

are you going to do a 2.25" custom catback or just install that thing ?

If anyone is going to do exhaust I would only recommend doing the whole thing. Just changing out the muffler won't sound as good and it definitely won't do anything for performance.
As for 4cyl exhaust tones, I love the WRX...such throaty sound.

In the end really getting an exhaust done will give you hardly any performance boost biggrin.gif. BTW how much did you guys cost you do get a catback exhaust done? What type of bend? mandrel or Crush?

I've got the same muffler. Mines louder though. I've got 2.25 strait pipe with header. My car sounds similar to a 2.0 Subaru. When I get on it, it does have a little higher note than the Suby, but it's not that much higher. Everyone seems to like my exhaust. I just built it for best flowing. When I re-did my motor, the sound definately got better.

On my Camry (sold frown.gif ) I got a top cat back and it cost me $700, but included in that price was the Magnaflow muffler and high-flow cat. So about $350 for the Magnaflow parts, and another $350 for the rest, and I got mandrel bent.

im really happy with mine. not much louder than stock and has a nice deep tone.
I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

I have a Magnaflow sport on mine. If you have stock headers it spirts at higher RPMs for a 7a. but stilld is very loud yet deep and smooth. I upgraded to 4-2-1 headers and no cat smoother very clean sound. Deep and Loud when you want it yet smooth and quiet at idle just how I like it.

nice, that doesn't sound loud at all. i want one. i've always been afraid of fixing up my exhaust cuz i didn't wanna be loud and draw the wrong kind of attention. especially since i have to constantly drive at high rpm's with my st.
ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.
