Default Quest for New Muffler

alright. im lookin for a new muffler for around $150. I have 2 inch exhaust all the way. i was looking at this one by Buddy Club. what you guy's think? or would it sound like a fart can? http://www.advancespeedshop.com/budd...00p-p-240.html

Any other options that will sound good??

Yuck to that muffler, then again I don't like Canister style mufflers. When I bought my car it had stock exhaust, I was 18 at that time and put on a 2 1/4" Apexi N1 Catback. I got a bit older and hated the way the muffler looked plus it got loud and rapsy. I bought a Vibrant Flat Black muffler and had the N1 canister cut off and the Vibrant welded in place. Love this muffler, not loud, sounds very nice and looks great.

There's a guy in the classified section that I bought mine from, Think his name is ImportDPS or something, I think he still has the deal for $99 OTD for the Vibrant flat black. That's what I would do but that's just my opinion.

Depends on what your actual goals are.

ive looked at the vibrant flat black muffler's and i am thinking about getting one of those. but idk yet. im going to look at some video's on utube about the Tsudo muffler. but i am kinda sceptical buying mufflers from ebay...the last ebay muffler i bought the welds broke on it and the screen in the core of the muffler was just hanging there rattling and sounding like shitttttt. ive made that mistake and i dnt want to make it again. but i willl check it out.

ive had mine for about a year and a half. Maybe a bit longer. But I got it from my friend who took them off of his V6 accord and he had them on there for about 2 years. So its almost 4 years old and it still looks brand new!

twin loop on ebay, made out of some pretty good stainless steel, you can feel it in its weight. Thicker walls = no rasp.
