Default Exhaust

The stock mufflers on my '95 need to be replaced this spring so I'm checking around for cat back systems that aren't too loud. I'm checking Ecklers and Mid America sites so I can listen before buying. Not seeing anything there that I really like.

Anyone got a suggestion for somthing thats louder than stock but doesn't sound like a NASCAR? (low rumber not blatting)

Default Exhaust Option

Planned on taking a Magnaflow Cat Back system back to Canada, but as usual no room after wife's shopping trips for grand kids. Great communications with the folks at Performance Peddlers so I'll be ordering the system when I get back for delivery in Ontario.

Pricey, but worth it.

I just checked out a video / sound for Magnaflow and they sound really good... nice low tone. Within my price range too

I would recommend trying to ride in a car with them on it before you buy them. I had the axle back Magnafow and they were louder in the car than I wanted plus the resonance or drone was bad around 1400 RPM. I ponied up for the Corsa and it was worth every penny.

Good luck!

Hammer,

Get on Youtube and search c4 mufflers or something like that. I have seen quite a few videos from the Corsa's, Magnaflow, etc. that guy's have put on there to demonstrate sound levels.

I have Magnaflows on mine and I'm going back to stock. The louder-than-normal mufflers were fun for a while, but then I just got tired of hearing them.

As Mike said, many guys who go with Magnaflows first for the price end up buying Corsa or returning to stock because they can't stand the sound or resonance.
