yeah man, you gotta specify which type of muffler cuz they all sound different. especially with other exhaust mods done as well.

if you want one, buy it. Its not gonna sound any different than a manual, except when it shifts...

yea exhaust wouldnt sound n e different, well except in 5 spd if you dont shift after letting off the gas you hear the car revs go down which to some people i guess sound cool.

what i dont understand is why are you asking for oppinions on wheted or not you should buy one for your automatic. it should have no complications if that is what you are thinking. i have a dynomax super turbo and it sounds gr8 on my auto. if you are into just getting a nice sound, a dynomax should suffice. but if you are lookin for more of a performance exhaust you should look into a b-pipe as well or a complete catback system.

the question is what exactly are you trying to do/accomplish?

Yes it will sound different on the 5spd vs an auto, typically the exhaust drones on an automatic and not so much on the 5spd. Autos get stuck at sucky rpm's for cruising and it sometimes gets annoying. Just dont get a stillen or magnaflow muffler unless you want something loud.

thanks folks for the info. after looking at the dyndns.org, mufflers are pretty expensive. i should get a catback.
