Default Muffler options for 87 ?
I just need mufflers. What are some of you running that looks better than stock? Just muffler replacement to the stock pipe.

Eliminators, walker replacements, corsa, stock... those seem to be the popular ones.

Just be careful of Drone.

I personally would do the eliminators, but depending on a few other factors this may drive you nuts with drone.

The eliminators depend honestly. On a totally stock car it doesn't really. But once you get into mods then it depends. Corsa is the safest bet.

Not a fan of the OE look. Don't care about loud. I don't want to spend $600 for 2 mufflers.

Looks good! I'll probably do a nice dual exhaust later. Right now I just need to get the exhaust squared up. I had to remove it all for T56 swap and header install.
