get a bomb style one from that site. I think they are really low toned muffler. The regular mufflers are good too but much more quiet. They are good prices. Get what you like.

Dynomax altho cheep has often proved it's self a good muffler in many magazines it does reduce back pressure well while also maintaining exhaust velocity. I have also noticed it is not too loud with stock exhaust equipment and provides a nice low tone not a dirt bike or a wet fart.

the dynomax is a good choice but it isnt very loud. i had a 2 inch one and i had no cat or resonator. It is low and performance sounding... but not loud at all! If u are into loud, just run a cat and no muffler! thats a real low tone and very loud!

what the shit are you talking about the dynomax isnt loud?? if you mean it doesnt sound like a fart can, than yeah.

take your resonator off, and that thing is hells ass loud. but its low and smooth toned.

I just had a dynomax put on my '87 lxi. muffler was $38 took it to my local muffler shop cut my old one off welded up the new one, no problem. I'm running 2.25 pipe no resanator , sounds pretty good. I'm running 2.25 inlet to the side and 2.25 outlet in the center.

My dynomax is loud enough with my header highflow cat and 2.25 mandrel. My parrents alaways know when I am on my way home.

The 5zigen fireball has a slightly higher pitch note to it. Not to my taste. But I didn't hear one in a 3geez.

Mine is a RActive. it sounds good and deep, it's just pretty loud. i call it a fart pipe if it is big shiney and loud. what is your definition of a fart can?

If you're looking for low and pretty loud for cheap just run around with the cat and no muffler. I had mine like this for about 2 years. You can just unbolt the pipe that runs under the rear axle and to the muffler letting your pipe end in front of the right rear wheel. But whatever you do, don't put a header on it, remove the cat and resonator, and continue to run around with no muffler. This makes conversation a no-no.

i consider a fart can a muffler that kind of flutters as it accelerates... like theres air bubbles as the exhaust comes out... i dont want something that sounds cheap... i want something that sounds tricked out.
