What are ya'll folk running for mufflers? It is going to be next spring before I install an aftermarket exhaust on my car ('92 Laser RS AWD) however I want to make sure I make a good decision. The exhaust will be custom 3" stainless but as for which muffler to use is where I'm lost. I have read some good things about Megan Racing's stainless mufflers: http://www.meganracing.com/products/product_page.asp?catid=45
I have always liked the sound of the Buschur exhaust setups and from what I understand they use a Dynomax muffler. Barton's Apex exhaust also had a great tone. I am also planning on getting ahold of Flowmaster to see if they have anything potentially available since I've worked with their Advanced Technology Group before. I am also planning on running a high-flow catalytic converter but that may change. In the end, noise level is not of concern as generally, the louder the better. :D

Like usual though, I am definitely open to recommendations, suggestions, comments, etc.

Thanks!

I loved my Hooker Maximum Flow. It had a nice deep tone without much droning and no raspy ricer stuff.

I had a Thermal R&D muffler on my GST and I thought it sounded awesome. My friend has a Magnaflow on his EVO, and it sounds great too, sounded damn near identical to my Thermal one.

I have the buschur setup with an ultraflow muffler. If your looking for a nice deep aggresive sound that is not that quiet then go with a Dynomax. Straight through tubing and I like the sound of it around town. Trips are another thing though, so if you want something quieter I think I would go with maybe the hooker max flow and a resonator where the cat would be.

I think that is what my next setup will be, as ultraflo's are just too noisy for me, and I have a 2.5" only. CVD's 3" AHP (hooker max flow) with no cat vs. mine with high flow cat... mine was louder.

I will also mention that I will be running an external wastegate along with an externally dumped O2 housing with the manufacturers/specs TBD.

I would have whoever is doing your exhaust to take the dump tube and reroute it back into your DP. Sound gets hella annoying and you can't get on it with cops around.

Another muffler thread? Anyway, thermal is one of the quietest, but they are pretty expensive. They have a nice, deep tone to them.

I loved the way my Thermal R&D exhaust sounded.

Best muffler ever
