dont do flowmaster, chamber mufflers do not sound all that great on 4-cyl's. ive got a magnaflow on mine, and i know many others do on this site. i love mine, its not too terribly loud, but its still got a good rumble to it, and louder when you provoke it. im not so sure on borla, but i know the people that have them love it. i do think magnaflow is cheaper however.

as far as audio goes, youtube is your friend. do a little research on there. see what you like the best.

100% correct. I think borla is more like deeper and not as there as magnaflow if that makes any sense. Just don't put a rocket can on. lol.

smart going aftermarket, id rather that then GMPP.

actually i have a "rocket"muffler on mine.2.25 piping with no resonator and a obx-r canister muffler.its really deep and has no "rice".My car is allergic to "rice" so i feed it "hotdogs"
I dont know whta that means but it made me laugh

the megan exhaust does sound pretty good, however if i were to get an n1/n2 style muffler, i'd get the ark kit. looks good, and sounds awesome. but, i love my magnaflow.
