Least expensive, best sounding exhaust
What would be my best choice for a least expensive, better sounding exhaust. I just want a lower rumble at idle to low speeds.
I don't want to replace all of my exhaust system to achieve better sound.
ALSO. I can't lose much in MPG performance. I have a lot of highway miles ahead of me.
Thanks everyone.

i have a flowmaster 40 on my 22r.... its sounds awesome in idle to low power... i think it has a drone on the freeway, but its the least of my trucks noises... the bfg muds on their hum too... and my truck is jsut rough in general... the stereo is also up all the time... so it doesnt bother me at all

I agree with the Flowmaster 40 series .I have a single to dual dump just behind the rear axle.It sounds awesome on my 3.4l and cost $40 for the muffler and $50 to have it installed.I have many compliments on the sound.

Dynomax
If your looking for cheap (inexpensive I should say) you can not beat dynomax...the rest may be too loud except (flomaster delta flow 50) if your only looking for a mellow rumble. A dynomax can be had for 40 bucks from jegs or summit online. Hope this helps

I got glasspacks on my Mustang and can say that is has affected my hearing.
But nothing beats them when you got serious RPM
The 4runner got the Dynomax cause its the daily driver and out here in Kalifornia the whole flowmaster thing is kinda poser.

IMHO, Flowmaster 40's are just too damn loud with too much drone. I specifically chose the non-SUV version of the Flowmaster 50 Deltaflow muffler because it has a nice low tone at idle and heavy throttle, it does not drone at any speed, and is barely audible inside the vehicle with the windows up. The SUV version is slightly louder inside the vehicle than the non-SUV, but the same on the outside, with a bit of drone. If I want to hear it a bit more, I either lay on more throttle, or crack the rear window.
I also went the Flowmaster route because it does not used packing material which eventually gets blown out, but tuned baffles instead. I plan on having the muffler for 10+ years or more.

1. carsound cat from performance parts
2. 2.25" catback with 'turbo'? muffler (dynomax I believe)
3. just added a resonator tip
She has a NIIICE low, burbly rumble at idle and then a good tone at about 2200 rpm. The resonator tip made the whole RPM range louder. The exhaust gets almost as many looks as the system! LOL

A high flow cat will make a big difference, the rest I'm still not impressed with, but rather living with it...

I do know that I'm very dissatissfied with my top end or lack thereof. My truck used to be able to hit 100mph on level ground even with my system. Now she wont break 96mph....
PS - I havent driven that fast since about 4 months ago when I got pulled over in a rented 2004 gran prix GT doing 135mph....lol (His radar only read 85 mph for some wierd azz reason. Thank you God!) Since then, I've driven 5 under the limit....lol
