I've heard that they're aren't half bad for the first little while, but the insides burn out easily, making the muffler sound quite ricey. I think it would be very much worth it to invest in a quality muffler.

Looks like an OBX one, which seem to be some of the higher quality replicas out there. No first hand experience on their lifespan.

Just pay attention to the piping diameter throughout the muffler, iirc it narrows down significantly as it passes through.

Yeah, I think that's the OBX one too. Like you I haven't used it, but its supposed to be a decent muffler.

Also, this is a universal muffler, so you'll need to add a flange and some hangers. Shouldn't cost more than $40 to do this work.
