Default exhaust preference

I know this has to be a common topic in the forum. I want to replace the stock exhaust on my 91 and don't know what to buy. I have an automatic transmission if that makes a difference. I like the looks of the B & B exhaust but don't know how it will sound. I don't want anything too loud but want an improvement over the stock ehhaust system. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your input.

If you don't want too loud, Iwould suggest Corsa. The B&B I think would be too much...

Get some muffler eliminator :D :thumbs: The easiest, cheapest way to go :thumbs:

Also if you leave in the stock cat and pre-cats, it's not too loud :yesnod:

:thumbs: :cool: :cheers:

For every possible option, there is a fan.

I was pretty diligent in my research before I bought and really decided it is sound and looks that it comes down to. All make pretty similar HP gain claims - some more real than others - but similar none the less.

I have had Flowmasters and Dynomax on cars in the past, but went with Magnaflows on this car and have been VERY pleased.

Are you thinking about doing the front Y and/or cat, or just the cat-back?

Great suggestion!! Oh, and I happen to be selling a set in the For Sale section of the forum :lol:

Seriously though - I took my stock muffler's off for Flowmaster 40 series over the summer - Granted I only put about 200 miles on them (they are for sale , too), but the resonance was insane, and they didn't have the "mean" growl I was hoping they would - they made my car sound like the UPS truck. So I figured cat elims and muffler elims would sound great... Until I heard a buddy's Corsa system. Needless to say, my system will be here Monday :cheers:

I'm done messing around with exhaust :yesnod:
