Default straight through vs. baffled muffler?

It's time to get some exhaust for my car and i have decided that i want a 'Quiet as possible' set up but with out selling my b20vtec short. So its baically between a es oval or a flowmaster. Was just wondering what the down side of having a baffled muffler like the flowmaster would be? it seems like a more logical choice for silence but i dont want to sacrifice throttle response.

Setup-- 2.5 w/ 22" resonator

Input?

I suggest you remove that pic before your thread gets locked.

If I were you, get an ES Oval. You'd probably get the same results from both, but since you're running a 4-banger, a straight through would be better. Especially on a B20.

Showing a picture of your car has nothing to do with your question.

Don't go with Flowmaster. I had one on my civic and the entire insides of the muffler rusted away in a year. Totally garbage stuff. I've got a Magnaflow Stainless Steel catback now and I love it. Though it IS a little louder, but not by much.

SO STRAIGHT THROUGH IS THE WAY TO GO? THE FLOW MASTER WON'T BE THAT MUCH QUIETER?

its really up to you. Straight through will give you better flow, however, they tend to be much louder. I was sick of the loud sound on the highway, so I switch to just a integra muffler. Sucks for flow, but its so much quieter.
