    Are there any options that are relatively light (in weight) as well?
    Of do you just go from:

    stock to stainless to titanium...

        do you still have the stock front muffler or cat ?

        I have a magnaflow on the back, the litte stock front resanoator ( put back on, the magnaflow alone was too raspy, it helped some)
        but the past few days the car has run like crap, I wonder if my catalytic converter ( stock) is getting plugged .(17 years old) might have to replace it with a magnaflow cat ( compression good, plugs good, fuel flow good, running like a ....plugged muffler, but those resanoators are straight through so thats not it)
        luckily IM not in california ( magnflow cats are not approved in california, who knows, maybe the state of ca has found it causes cancer and birth defects :) )

            I knocked my baffles loose while pulling out of a drive-in movie lot and now my car sounds like every homeboy's dream. :(

              Hi, I am also looking at 14815/14816. Can you try to describe how it sounds at idle, partial throttle and full throttle?

              Is it loud when driven normally/slow or is it loud at all times?

              thanks

                    It was like 26.50 shipped. That muffler sounds better then the 225.00 magnaflow one that I had. Not to to loud that its annoying, sounds good and it isnt annoying on the highway either. You can hear it coming atleast 2 blocks away.. Thats what Id go with of it is your daily.

                    Link please!!??

                      does anyone that is using a a thrush welded muffler from summit have an audio clip?

                      This muffler is only 30$ but I have seen where a few guys have said that it sounds really really good!

                        I'm using this one, but I'm not able to get a clip of it. To me it sounds nice at highway speeds, not super while it's cold, though once warmed up it's a lot better.

                            The stock muffler on my eta has a bunch of holes in it from rust, sounds great imho.

                                Strommung mufflers are great. I always loved they way that system sounds on a m20. You can do youtube searches to hear some sound clips.
