No Name Exhaust

Anyone running a generic or odd ball exhaust? If so how is it and what kind? Just wondering.

Hey Jesse, how does that Magnaflow sound and how loud is it? Are you using a resonator?

Just curious. I'm not personally familiar with this brand of muffler.

i got 2.25 custom piping running from my headers back. Then i got a vibrant muffler with 4" outlet. For the price. I like it. I only spent $225. But i kinda wish i didn't take the resinator off. Kinda. I mean everyone says it sounds better now but i think it sounds like a inline four with straight pipes. (that's essentually what it is). But i ve gotten use to it. Its a deep sound with some gurrgles in it when you slow down or down shift.

I think I'm gonna go the generic custom job but I really don't want the bubble bee in a coffee can sound. I guess I'll live and learn. Does anyone have an idea for a good sounding exhaust?

Inexpensive exhaust with attitutde!

I have a 2 1/4" exhaust system but I kept a resonator pipe...it's for a pickup truck or something...it has 2 1/4 inlet/outlet. The piping is 2 1/4" S/S and the muffler is a BroSpeed/Bosal high flow, not straight through design. It was all bent up at a local exhaust shop. The complete system cost me $500 including taxes (but that's canadian dollar$) It sounds good...a low rumble not like a coffee can/bumble bee! It's low like a half a 5.0L Mustang. I don't get burbles or backfires on decel. and it idles smooth.
