Hi everyone I'm going the cheap route and just trying to put on a muffler has anyone done this and if so how does it sound and what brand did you get if you could provide a link that would be great too. Thank you.

well go magnaflow weld on but at least get em to run 2.5 pipin from the down pipe so you'll at least have a good a good size pipin on it and that'll be good for when or if you decide to get an aftermarket header and down pipe later on.

when i said it wont help performance wise i meant if you only have the stock muffler cut off and a new one welded on. that wont help any. if you have new pipin ran with the new muffler then yes it is the same as havin a catback.

Why not just buy an SS SC catback, and weld a muffler to that, I think that would be your best bet.
