into a 2.5 magnaflow muffler. how much would a middle silencer help?? (only have the rear) any good mufflers you all use? (for behind the flex joint)

Default alright, sounds like a good plan, any suggestions as far as what kind to get??

thanks for any input. the shop was talking about putting in a flowmaster middle muffler. will this be enough? and would straight shot muffler vs. tradition be better or worse as far as controlling noise while not adding much resistance..

Default Flowmaster should be just fine.

as for a straight shot V. traditional muffler, well hopefully somebody will post that has one themselves and they can give you some first hand imput.

If you wanted it to be more quite, i would do a traditional muffer.

Default The question was "you have apr, how loud is it?" my response was "Quite, even without a cat...

as well as not droney on the highway."

Seems to make sense to me but i could be crazy. I have never heard of quite loud. Seems like an oxymoron to me.
