Quiet CHEAP muffler?
Looking for a quiet cheap muffler. I looked at a bunch of threads but most decent mufflers where in the $300 range.
I was very keen on the Powertech Mufflers but the noise factor is keeping me away from them. I am getting a y-pipe so noise will be a factor. I was thinking about simply buying a replacement maxima muffler from a junkyard and welding a 3-4" tip on it but I would really like to go AM. Any suggestions?
Looking to spend about $150 (from e-bay or wherever) for any muffler single tip is fine as I *may* decide to go dual exhaust since there is a cheap install shop nearby

Or, find a used 4th gen muffler in good condition and make it into a dual exhaust, with 3" tips. That way it'll look good and not loud. You think you'll want an exhaust with some rumble now, because you never had aftermarket catback. But trust me, i spent over $500 just experimenting with different exhaust setups, and you get tired of loud exhaust really quick. When I find a used 4th gen muffler or 2 5th gen ones for good price, i might be going dual too. But I need to come down to blacksburg to do that.

I'm not keen on spending over $150 so I hope I can dig up a cheap place to pick up the HKS.BTW when you coming down to tech? Or did you just graduate.

I'll take a look at the hayame. From what I have read about loud mufflers though is that a res will help but it wont get down to stock sound mainly because the y-pipe already adds so much noise.
