Louder Exhaust

Louder Exhaust
I've been toying with the idea of a new muffler for some sound. My local guy wants an arm and leg ($325) for a muffler change...Not a cat back...I said No..ok I said more then no, but any So.Cal. people have any recomendations or cost figures that are more reasonable?

Louder exhaust outside also means louder in the car. I changed my muffler..all chrome, sweet low sound, but the reverb noise inside is loud. I wouldn't change it, but on a road trip up the Rockies, It drove me crazy!! Todd(Uma)

The first muffler I tried was a magna flow because that is all I ran in the past. It was way too loud and kinda sluggish. The imco is the best bang for your buck. A little louder than stock but not ricey, and a noticable increase in performance....

Thanks all.... This will be a project for possibly after the holiday..
I do have a concern about more noise inside as I spend 2 hours a day in my HHR when I'm in town.
Heard the sound clip for Mitzkity's and it did sound good.
Stainless is not so much of an issue in So.Cal. as we do not deal with the adverse weather conditions... my '48 coupe still has no rust and the same muffs since 1994. Rust is not allowed in California :LOL:-)
More power is good, but not the main issue...sound is what I'm after...
have a Happy Holiday everyone... I'm off to Indy for some real car action.

I've driven her car back and forth to work a few times. If you aren't gunning it, it's pretty tame. A bit deeper, no real drone or annoyance. When you "Stomp it" and downshift, it wakes up pretty significantly. If you want a touch less noise, add a resonated tip and it will lower the sound slightly.
