Getting a new muffler

Well my muffler fell off and its pretty much gone anyway plus I didnt like the sound of it so I decided to get a new muffler. I'm looking for something that's pretty much quiet for normal and spirited driving but really gets loud when at WOT. Any recommendations?

The mufler that comes with the Hooker catback (which I'm running) sounds fit to order. I'd think it could be purchased separately, though by the sound of of your dilemma, you might consider the entire catback.

Re: Getting a new muffler

When the muffler is rotten and falls off the rest of the system is not far behind. Just replace everything with a new 3" Catback system (Stainless steel would be my choice).

Hmmm, I've always said that if I do full catback I might as well do headers too. Might have to wait though I only have 1k for a tranny swap and this.
