I guess most of you ppl is getting sick of all the magnaflow "uuuh what muffleer should i get" posts going around here but i AM a total noob to all of this so im gonna have to start one more of them.

So if i have the stock exhaust mounted, and exchange the muffler to the one above, will i get that deep and agressive sound i love and want, yet without making the car too noisy? (i wanna be able to talk inside the car while driving)

That is, if using the stock exhaust with the above muffler = deep sweetness OR waste of money?

One thing is false about this theory, muffler's do add horsepower depending on the engine. But the explainations are fairly true.

no, they do not ADD horsepower. no more than taking the belt off the alternator for a drag race adds horse power.

now let me explain before you tell me im wrong without thinking about it.

it doesnt add power, it gives you move of the available power. the power was and has been there, just wasnt usable because of the impediment to exhaust flow. if you welded a 1/2inch reducer into the exhaust of the motor, the engine still has the same displacement and the same amount of potential available power, but by impeding the flow of exhaust out you're reducing its power output by hampering part of the 4 stroke cycle. by removing the restriction you can free the engine to exhale more easily

hows that sound? its not real loud, but noisier than stock.

i like the sound, especially the idle sound, but wont that be a pain to drive in highway at 3-4k rpm for a while?

Can someone please tell me what a resonator is? Is it an addon component or is it allready installed on the stock system?

its pretty quiet with light throttle, road noise is louder in the car than the exhaust.
