Default New Muffler

I finaly got my new muffler put on. Here is a pic if anybody actually gives a %$# about witnesseng its first on-line apperance. So far my mods include the muffler, intake, shifter, strut bar, internal neons, wood steering wheel, wood aftermarket kit, and xenon lights for interior and exterior (until I move up to the hid). Uninstalled ( but already have) mods include, 15 mmats juggernaut, mmats d100hc, diamond audio s600s hex component set, stinger 3 farad rectangle cap, svr battery, optima battery (for starting car), and diamond audio m3 6x9s. Waiting to install audio because I dont have a tv for my car yet (plan on making a false face like I did in my acura, still appered that I had the factory stereo). One more thing, I also just got my speaker box made. This monster is 4.5 cubic feet and is supposed to be a whole cubic foot bigger. The trunk could hold a 5.5 cubic foot box but getting it in the trunk is the problem. Also, the box is made of one inch mdf (fyi). Will show pics if anyone cares to see them.

how or what does it sound like? You should link to an audio file so we can here it. Does it protrude further out than stock?
Either way it does look nice.

Default how??

Thanks Mezoom, I didn't want to be like everybody else when it came to choosing a muffler (no offence intended, just want to be different). Steviej, the muffler does sound more aggresive BUT, and I repeat BUT it does NOT sound like a rice rocket. If I had to compare the sound to another car, it would be a camero with dual exhaust, but with a smoother rumble and not as loud. It actually sounds smoother than I had anticipated (which is good). It does stick out a little past the stock one but only by choice, this is because I am planning on getting a body kit some time soon. I wish I could attach a sound file but dont know how and dont know how I would record it. Sorry. And thanks for the compliment too.

I put one on too a couple of weeks ago. Sounds GREAT! Not ricey, subtle, smooth but not quite or annoying. Hard to put in words. Looks great too...

BabyLex, What type of muffler is that? It looks really nice. I am interested in upgrading mine as well, it is starting to show some rust... time to chrome out.

Its a remus style muffler, looks and sounds great. I bought two originally for my car, but ended not doing the dual exuast as originally planned. I have the extra one up for grabs. But it is all chrome, dual sqaured tips.

PM me about this. How much do you want? Is it a full cat-back or just the muffler?

Thanks
