So..

I have a bit "odd" exhaust setup atm.
On my 1991 I have hooker long tube headers going to a singel 3 inch pipe ( that replaced my OEM cat ), back to the stock rear y-pipe and stock muffler.
Im planing to change the muffler to someting that sounds a bit more fun.
Im not delusional, I know that i probably wount pick up any power with new mufflers vs the stock ones, as my singel 3 inch pipe is the bottleneck im sure...
( but that system took me into the 12s in the quarter miles, so its not to bad i guess )

Any tips on reasonably priced muffler that look "ok", and sounds a bit more fun the the stock ones?

I looked at MAGNAFLOW. But they only sell mufflers as a "catback kit" for my 1991 C4, and it feels silly to pay for the rear y-pipe when I already got one in perfekt working order..

Measure your muffler dimensions(length,width,height)as well as noting inlet placement and outlet/tip location.Then order some universal mufflers and weld them in.
