i want it LOW, not nessesarly LOUD. opinions on mufflers plz..

Ok, alot of people now adays are going louder and louder, now i wouldnt mind having a LOUD exhaust, i still prefer that super low shake the windows FEEL from a mile away sound. probably like the flowmasters sound, im not sure since iv never heard a flowmaster exhast and KNOWN it was and what model etc. Im just wondering since i have dual 2.5inch (i think) tips on the left side, if i were to put on a new dual exhaust (one on each side) and put on 4"x18" chrome tips on if that would give it that LOW sound, or can i just replace the muffler and use the same pipes after the muffler, its basicaly a stock muffler. I don't want it TOO loud or anoying so that i get a head ache, but i people to be able to hear\feel it when i start it up. any comments or model suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The aerochamber catback is awesome. The only thing is that it is quiet inside the car. I don't mind, but some people like to hear their car while they're driving. From the back it sounds sweet, especially at WOT.

yea, i have heard many-a flowmasters and they are loud. just to add to the conversation, i have heard an aerochamer on and 8 before, someone on this site had link on their hompage, but i have long since been there. but it did lead me to by an aerochamebr for my 3.1. i just loved the sound on the eight, and i would have to say i am really impressed. it really sounds deep and throaty (yes, even on a 6). and it is true, it sounds real loud and good behind the car, especially when you get on it. but its nice to get in the car and not have to hear it all the time. great sound, the guys explained it well above. i just wanted to give you some input from a current aero-chamber owner. and it only cost me 79.00 for the muffler at summit!

and if you are at all interested, i have an mp3 of it on my car....and although it is a 6 you can get an idea of the sound, it really is a nice sound....let me know if you want me to post it
