I think I'm just going to go this route since it's only $130 NEW rather than paying for someone's used axle-back with XX,000 miles on it.

Should do the trick....

I just put a Walker QuietFlow on last week. The fit was great and the muffler hangs nicely centered at the rear.
I found a nice hole on the top of the OEM muffler which I didn't realize was there because it was hidden. Much better now.

Sounds and feels good to me. I wasn't looking for anything louder than stock. Having that hole in the old muffler get larger and larger before I replaced it I got to experience the sound of a louder system from the drivers seat and I hated it. I know the OEM muffler has that valve in it but I don't notice a diff. I'll use the money I saved on other things. I think I'll buy a bottle of GooGone and debadge it now.

Napa carries Bosal aftermarket replacement exhaust system that doesn't have a trick bypass valve in it..... Slightly louder than stock....with that said I would cut out all those smashed sections and see an increase in exhaust flow...... a really cheap mod!!!

They are relatively the same price but I know from personal experience the OEM muffler has 0 drone on highway (and I do alot of highway driving). Any opinions on the Cattman muffler? Also, I googled walker exhaust and Amazon came up with this from Walker ... http://www.amazon.com/Walker-Exhaust...tive&carId=002 ... is that the actual muffler?

I have ever buy some thing from eBay store, but the equality is not good enough, under a recommendation of a friend of mine, I bought the muffler from another store, unbelievable, it works fine, and it is not very expensive. I appreciate it.

For the money Bosal can't be beat. If I remember I paid 99.00 for the B pipe and 106.00 for the muffler.........Midas installed it for 60.00. I feel its a good deal considering a stock muffler cost about 300.00 dollars and the b pipe was 275.00........

Do the Walker Quiet Flow Muffler and Bosal Muffler have dual tips like OEM? I am considering that both but I would want the dual tips.
Thanks for any input.

Yes dual exhaust tips just like OEM but you need to buy chrome tips to dress it up.

Here is a exact pic of the one I put on my car

I would go with the Cattman Catback over the Walker Performance wise but seem you want quiet and costly for the pockets cause Cattman is like 740 dollars plus shipping so I got to start saving for it!
