what would you get? (2.5" piping w/o cat)

Apex N1 universal muffler
HKS universal muffler
Matrix universal muffler 5.5" tip(summitracing.com)

Are all straight through mufflers the same(primarily)?

are you going turbo?

>are you going turbo?

I am currently turbo'd.

Any straight through muffler will be fine, they are basically all the same, just some have different sounds/tones than others. I have the stock piping and cat, with the SS magnaflow muff, and it sounds pretty good, esp after the turbo install. I was getting annoyed by how loud it was on the highway, but now its perfect. I dont have any info on the brands you listed, never tried/heard them before..performance wise, i'd say they are all the same

just wondering if a straight through muffler will be raspy with turbo and no cat.

Mine was *slightly* raspy at a cold start up, before the turbo, but now after the turbo, its nice and no rasp at all really..

i've got the full n1 and i love it. it's so low though that i scrape it some times, but the way it's angled i only hit the back of the muffler and 2 points on the piping, hell, it works great i could care less about what it looks like undernieth. nobody around me would do 2.5" mandrel bends for anything cheaper than what i could get the n1 for so i went that route. now i need to get rid of my "highflow" cat and put a 3" pipe in, anyone have any ideas? where do you guys get your "cat's" ?

Hey mitseclps, go to horsepowerfreaks.com, they have 2.5 and 3 " test pipes. I think the 2.5 was $55 and the 3.0 was $65. justin
