    Ok guys I need some help I'm looking for cheap muffler, that has a little sound to it not to loud, had an 05 with dual magnaflow and I liked it, it was just a little to loud. What's everyone running to just have that little bit of pep to it? Don't want it sounding like no Honda civic either LOL thanks!

    A guy told me he wanted his muffler louder, so he just slammed a piece of rebar into his stock muffler a few times. I never heard how the muffler sounded, so if you try that little trick, as usual, you're on your own. Other than that, I see a junkyard in your future. Good luck.

    What? I'm not slamming nothing into my muffler and I'm not seeing no junkyard in my future! Sarcasm I read?

    TRD catback is minimal and real nice sound/tone to it!Not going to give you any pep though!

    Sorry man. :rofl: Just kidding, and a little sarcasm as well. If you read enough comments on TW, you'll read a lot crazier shit than this. Not from me though. This is about as crazy as I get. But, what's wrong with getting a part from a junk yard? I've done it a couple of times over the years and had pretty good luck with it. It could work out pretty well.

    Another vote here for the TRD system, it's got a nice throaty grumble but isn't obnoxious or loud at all.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Isn't the TRD a cat back system? So from the cats, Y pipe, muffler, and pipe to tip?

    I'd look at the larger Magnaflow than you currently have, OP. Bigger generally means quieter.

    Check out page 5 of StillWill's build page. He has a YouTube video of how his muffler sounds. It's a bigger Magnaflow. Sounds good to me.
