alright buying 2.25" exhaust for christmas and deciding which muffler to use for sound. i want it pretty much to sound stock but louder and maybe a little more rasp (less like a vacuum cleaner lol)

so which one:
borla 5x8 oval muffler
magnaflow round 6 inch
vibrant round 6 inch

thanx

i had the same exhaust but 2.5in on my old balt. had the magnaflow muffler. Sounded pretty good, a lil raspy top end. If i was to get that exhaust again i would go with the borla muffler

08ShowbaltLS

have u heard the borla before or would u just wanna change it up?

ToyBoxCar

Ive got a DC sports. Its very tolerable when driving normal, but sounds great when you gun it. Wasnt expensive either.

quiet at normal driving
Deep tone on take offs, and at WOT.

Flowmasters suck.they ow worse than mAgnaflow flowtech borla and they don't sound that great to be honest

08ShowbaltLS

You should get a dynomax super turbo muffler there under 50 bucks. I have one on my 2.4 and like it alot.

blackarca, that sounds pretty decent, what your exhaust setup?

BlackARCA06

Thanks, its just the muffler and 3 inch exhaust tip, I was gonna do a full exhaust but figured it was pointless on a 2.2.

The only reason some flowmasters sound like **** on are cars is because people put the wrong type of flowmaster on it. The flowmaster website describes the type of vehicles there mufflers should be put on.

Blackarca, I ve got manifold back SS exhaust, and have been looking for a decent muffler to weld on to replace the stock one, is this your setup, or do you have stock 2.2 exhaust with the flowmaster?

BlackARCA06

I have the stock 2.2 exhaust, it may sound different with your setup, might be deeper. This muffler just has a deep tone to it. You can really only hear it when I get on it, or 3K or higher.

Sounds like you would like the GMPP Touring muffler
Just find a used one here in the for sale section they show up once in a while

GMPP Touring #1 sounding exhaust for any cobalt IMO
