My muffler was made by 3A Racing Performance.
It's such a dumb generic name, but I love the sound. It was only $80 at Checker Auto Parts. It has a nice deep sound that isn't too loud. Only thing that I don't like is that the sound cuts out after 3000 RPM. After 3000 RPM, you would think that my exhaust system is totally stock. (At the moment, the muffler is the only aftermarket part I have on).

I think greddy uses magnaflow mufflers.. I could be wrong though, just think I remember someone mentioning it in an old thread. Dunno about cattman.

Greddy makes their own mufflers.

I am pretty sure that you need to buy the full catback. They dont sell the mufflers seperatly. Cattman however does sell just a muffler, but its like $300...

I'm in the same boat. I want to get a muffler, but the fear is in me that it will sound like a fartcan/dirtbike. I've heard that Dynomax, Flowmaster 50 series, and Borla are the way to go for a deep sound. Can anyone confer on these inputs.

Just had one installed 10 min ago. Sounds good...definately deep. Lil louder than I thought..but from my research, it is one of the quietest mufflers...with no precats it louder. I have a budget Y

no catback = ricy sound. Well from what I have experienced at least =/

Bought a muffler had it installed. I was like **** this ****, turned around and had them make and install me a b-pipe. Paid like $220 total.
