    Alright, after 395,000 miles it's time to but a muffler. I'm not looking for anything loud. What do ya'll think I should go with?

All Pro Apex front bumper (rattle canned Rustoleum primer + flat black). Plasti-dipped emblems. Mud flaps removed.
    Another stock muffler? Also the TRD one isn't too loud if you decide to go that route. Most magnaflow and flowmaster are relatively loud. Borla makes a good one too but might be louder than you are looking for. You might just look up a bunch of sound clips, there are also reviews on some exhaust systems posted around TW

    If you don't want extra noise a simple turbo muffler will do

    I find when anything goes may as well replace from the cat back because it won`t be long till the rest fails.

    Myself I would rather do it all and be done for a few years

    I'm in the same boat and I have heard people like their Aero chamber mufflers from hooker. They aren't raspy like the flow master. at idle its more noticeable than stock but cruising down the road its basically as quiet as stock im told. i found some videos on youtube..... hard to really tell how it will sound but it wasn't bad.

    I have the aero 2525xl

    xl means it has the resonator so its a bit quieter. Sounds good to me.
