any suggestions? thanks in advance.

Many of us on here have a magnaflow muffler installed. It looks great and sounds great too! It's a very inexpensive exhaust set up since the muffler will cost you between $150-$200 and the install should be no more than $100. I have the one with the rolled 3" tips (magnaflow #14862). I got it on ebay for $160 shipped. The rolled tips make it look more like stock, but since they are 3" they fill out the space much better.
I did have the #14815 muffler, but I didn't like the straight cut tips look. Here are a couple pics of what my #14862 looks like.

do you have a sound clip? how's the cabin noise at highway cruising speeds? i want performance w/a deep, mean sound....but can not stand high pitch, ricer sounding exhaust!lol
No significant cabin noise when cruising on the highway. Anyone who rides in my car never notices on the highway. Don't worry it doesn't sound ricey! It's a nice deeper lower pitch. I don't have a clip, but here is C's #14815 muffler. It a decent clip. Mine sounds similar, but mine is a little deeper. It could also be the recording. It sounds great in person!

how 'bout performance wise? seeing that it's only a muffler, did you notice it to be more free flowing or is it mostly for looks & sound?
