Default Replacing muffler- Another ?

My local muffler shop stocks Flowmasters. They quoted me $120 to put on a 40 series Flowmaster which includes parts and labor. I have looked at a MagnaFlow Universal polished muffler. Anyone prefer one over the other? Anyone know which sounds better or performs better?

i love my magnaflow, the only thing is when you get a universal make sure you tell them you do not want it high pitched, the universal round tube mufflers sound like crap!! but i love mine i will look to see what model it is tonight!!

I had my local shop do mine... I have a 30-series Flowmaster on my car, and I paid just slightly more than that for the muffler and install. I would recommend the Flowmaster to you, only because it has a slightly deeper rumble to it than most other exhausts you usually hear on 4- and 6-cylinders, and makes it a lot more distinctive, respectable, lower, and acceptable tone than most other exhaust thats for sure (not to mention it performs better than stock exhaust obviously).

Does anyone make an exhaust kit that does NOT have dual exit pipes? I would like to keep the stock look while increasing performance.

Or would I just need to replace the stock muffler with a flowmaster leaving everything else intact?
