Universal Mufflers!, Sounds and Looks! Options

[ILoveMySilly97]

I've been looking around and OBX seems to be the best for it's cheap price. My cousin has an OBX muffler on his Civic and it sounds really nice. Not loud but a perfect deep sound. But obviously a Civic and Celica is two different cars. I was just wandering if you guys can post some pics and/or vids of your universal mufflers!

Hey Guys,

I thought I would ask this here, rather than starting ANOTHER muffler thread

I have been thinking about upgrading the muffler on my 5SFE Celica, but I have been worried about getting something that sounds too hoonish or like all the drain pipes/fart-cannons out there. There isn't a huge following in my area, so it is hard to listen in person, so I am entrusting you!

Basically, I am wanting my car to sound like it should have out of the factory; like the exhaust on any decent modern hot hatch (deep, but not too loud as to draw masses of attention). I want it to sound nice and noticeable, without being obviously aftermarket (to the layman). I am planning to keep my stock tip if possible to help with this.

I am sick and tired of being shown up by my sisters tiny little stock 3 door '04 Barina SRi (I.e. Opel Corsa C Sri) when it comes to exhaust systems!

My question is whether a standard muffler, like those discussed here, would achieve this for me, and if there is anything in particular I should be wary of when I am shopping around? Also, for my needs is there any reason to redo the rest of the exhaust piping? I have no major plans for modifying the drivetrain in the near future, however I have a friend who could probably do the piping on the cheap for me.

Thank you,
Joshua

Best sounding exhaust out there and is fairly priced. Unlike some other brands I could mention it won't cost you $200-300 for just the muffler only to sound like a bumblebee. You can just replace the muffler if you want it to be louder, but not obnoxious. As removing the resonator etc would make for a louder and raspier sound.
