Alright after reading endless threads on exaust, I am trying to get a consensus of what would be the most Modest aftermarket mufflers to the most raw sounding mufflers.
<Modest ------------------- Raw>
___________^
I want something right there as far as sound goes, louder than stock and will catch nearby attention when getting on it - but won't wake up the neighbors at 2 in the morning when I pull into my driveway.
Think I'm gonna go catback, as it sounds like the stock Cat does a good job w/ flow. (correct me if I'm wrong here, because I'll buy a new cat if that's the case)

i heard somebody on here installed a flow 80's that one is supposed to be more quiet than the 40 correct?
on my 95 grand am, I had a 3100 with a straight pipe. never did get too loud, but the exaust setup on the car was pretty much stock minus the muffler.

i have borla muffler and tips, with naich's 3.5in cai and it is perfect for me... doing 1800rpms in 2nd and 3rd it has a quiet but really nice sounding rumble than if i lay on the gas it cranks out and stands out very nicely.

80's are all dual outputs, plus they are rated as some of the loudest flowmasters now that i look on their website.. I am looking for a single output. I am going to stick with the single side exaust on the car.
I want some tone, but nothing too loud.

I find it weird that no one jumped out and told u dynomax.
I have no opinion i was just surprised no one said anything about it and thought i'd ask why.

i have a dynomax dual setup with custom 2.5 from the cat
all you need to do is grab up a camaro muffler with single output and get somebody to bend it up. if it's too loud, put in a resonator. they aren't that expensive. my 4-banger sounds suprisingly beefy when i get on it, and has a nice low- tone at idle. get luck man. and remember, exhaust sounds differently to everyone. you have to decide for yourself what sounds good.

I just had a custom catback put in. I got 2.25 pipes with a Ractive muffler. Left in the stock cat and resonator. It has a nice deep sound and looks really cool. The only problem I have had is that I took a few hour drive and it got really annoying.

Well I had a magnaflow prior to a few days ago and I loved it. It sounded real good and there was no drone while driving. Due to a nice cement parking spot stopper, i was forced to switch to a flowmaaster 80 series. Also has a good sound to it...definately think it is louder than the magnaflow was, but there is a bit of drone while just driving around...
