What are you trying to do? Rear muffler swap only, or bigger pipes too?

Are you running a downpipe, or plan to?

You’ll need alot of muffler if you’re catless otherwise it will sound horrible. A 4x9 of any size won’t be enough no matter what length.

OTOH if you’re keeping the stock cat and resonator, all you really need is an 18” glasspack and you will get the sound you want.

Nah I'm not running a downpipe I just got center mount diffuser and looking for a muffler to give some sound..maybe vibrant they sound pretty tame too

Then virtually anything straight through will work. Dynomax ultra flow, a short 4x9 Magnaflow, etc.

Yeah I just wonder what sounds best

Magnaflow IMO. I’ve been running Flowmaster’s for years and the drone was so bad. I went with a big Magnaflow and couldn’t be happier.

What do you have

What do you have

I swapped out a Flowmaster DBX and HP2 for 2 glasspacks and a 5x8x18” Magnaflow 14255. I have a downpipe so I need the extra muffler. You won’t need one this big.

Here's my setup, resenator delete with a single Megan's racing MDT muffler. Not loud at all unless I get on it and zero drone

That's pretty good and id leave my resonator on too thanks

I'm thinking with a muffler and to make it center mount should be $150-200 at a shop

Yours is turbo so it's going to sound better

If you do end up doing that, please post a clip on here. I'm seriously considering getting a diffuser and doing the same and converting my 2.0 to a center mount exhaust. Im basically after a sound that doesnt drone or attract too much attention, but gives the car some tone.

Ok update went to the exhaust shop they said the only that they can mount it will hang lower than the original exhaust unless I can find a muffler like this that's small enough...or delete muffler altogether

 

[87elco]

So center exit is only possible if you do a muffler delete really
