Why do you want just a muffler? Get a cat-back ....

Call around, as you can usually get a shop to weld that muffler on for pretty cheap.

I dont really want the whole catback and y-pipe...etc, i just want an aftermarket muffler because mine is rusted and the hook holding on to it is broken so every time i go through a bump. my muffler is affected, so thats why i wanna change only the muffler.

go ahead, buy that muffler and have a good muffler shop put it on for you and see how you like it. If you want a better appearance or sound you going to have to spend some money.

Just the muffler is fine, any bracket you need or hangers, the muffler shop has and are only a couple of dollars. Have fun!

Nice system, how did you do that dual exhaust? is that all custom? ya 300 is alot for a muffler but cattmans is some of the better equitment plus SS. for the price those $50 mufflers do the trick. but for me ill spend the cash once to get what i want, maybe if you got some ground affects. I hate how they look/hang down, i want my muffler to not be noticed.

by borla pro xs was like 60 dollars. it is straight through design and looks like a stock muffler ie. not ricy. plus it sounds good. you might want to check that out before you make your final decision.

Replace your stock rusted muffler with a new stock muffler. It's the only way to really keep your car straight.

A friend of mine had a 98 Toyota Camry V6 with that muffler and a short ram. Sounded amazing. No farting whatsoever. Maybe I should go with a flowmaster?
