B16A muffler choice help
Hello everyone 
I have a 1992 EG Hatch Si with a B16A SiR Gen II motor swap (170hp, 8200 redline)
I put ITR headers on the car a while ago, and then went to Minute Muffler and got a 2.25" exhaust (no cat, no resonator), all the way back into the muffler that I already had on the car. (I've tried looking to see what muffler it is, but I can't seem to find out)
The muffler makes a somewhat knocking sound now after the exhaust was put on, so I think it is falling apart inside, what mufflers sound good on an NA B series like mine? Don't want to sound like a ricer lol, a deeper tone seems appealing to me
Would appreciate your guys' input and suggestions

A good sounding muffler in my opinion would be a vibrant muffler, I have used their stealth series twice, once on my EM1 and on my old Turbo eagle talon. I have at several friends use them on their hondas, D,B & K series engines. The muffler has a good deep tone too it, I would recommend getting at least one of their resonators. I had two of the ultra quite resonators along with the stealth muffler on my EM1. Still loud (I also like quiet exhaust) with 3" exhaust, but it was a nice deep tone that didn't really wake up till you really got on it.
The mufflers and resonators are a straight through design so they don't restrict exhaust flow too badly. You can check out what they offer on their website, the company is vibrant performance.

I love the way my tanabe medallion sounds on my b16a 92 dx, its got a deep tone with minimal drone when crusing on the highway, and it complies with the 95db level with a cat.
