dont say have my own made! cause i know nothing about mufflers/ exhausts.. like size's and piping and what not. im looking for a nice fit some thing LIKE the stock muffler in design, but instead of the dual tip, i just want one round tip. not small, i want it nice and big so people can tell its an aftermarket/racing exhaust.. i want a nice non hollow yet non throaty sound... also i dont want to spend 220+ bucks... something cheap but good quality.. stainless steal?

you can get a universal muffler with different style tips at a muffler shop most likely...

I don't quite understand, are you looking for a whole system or just a muffler? Anyway, go to Meineke, ask for a replacement muffler, ask for their performance mufflers. They should offer a Vortex cherry-bomb. It's a flowmaster-copy but much, much cheaper. its black and will give youa deeper (v8 like) sound but not too bad. Then ask them if they have any tips to put on or buy your own exhaust tip (store or internet) and bring it with you. They can weld it all on and you should get out of there at around $100 give or take a lil bit.

I had dual vortex's on my old GP, sounded phenomenal.

Look around until you find a muffler shop that sells Flowmaster, Magnaflow and DynoMax mufflers. One of those brands will definitely meet your needs. Then have the shop remove your stock muffler and bolt each of the aftermarket mufflers on one at a time so you can audition them. That's the only way to be absolutely certain of what you're getting.

Toylet, if you want exhaust I build one for you.
You like Dual Tip or do you want Single Apex Style ?
I might be working on MPNY's 4th Gen soon, so maybe do two exhausts in one day.

Our production exhausts will be a lot better, but right now we need some power, and something to gauge sounds, and construction.

-PM me for more info.
why "die stillen die" ? if you know the right person there (Dean is down for the "4:20" if you know what I mean) and i got my intake for $130 and Exhaust for $280 Stainless steel and Clear bumper lights for $45 , so tell him a Big White dude with a Gold Maxima on Chrome 19's refered you and he'll hook it up!!! if not then give me a call and i'll get anything you want from Stillen and a better price then any group deal...949-735-0664 ask for big "K"
