Cat-Back?

k so my muffler has got a bit of a leak and its gunna need to be replaced pretty soon. i've got two options: use the new Magnaflo muffler i got at a swap meet or i could go for a full cat-back system. Any suggestions?
I'm lookin for a deep, tough sound but i dont want it to be so loud that it wakes up my parents when i pull in the driveway 2 hours after my curfew. Also, i dont wanna be spending too much money kuz i've already got a lift and tires planned too.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks alot.

Use the muffler you have and goto a shop and have em make you a nice tail pipe section. All a cat back system is is a muffler and tail pipe..

dont waste money on a cat back system. If you can do it your self then do it. I just two weeks ago did my own. Went to NAPA and bought down pipe, O2 sensor, and tail pipe. I got a High Magnaflow High Flow cat from Quadratec, and a Hooker muffler. Great sound not to loud and running real smooth. All for under the coast of some cat back systems. 300 bucks just about.

If you are having a hard time putting that sucker in I could take care of it for you..Just drop it by the house and it'll get used for sure..

i got rid of my tail pipe along time ago... i ran a cherry bomb w/ a tail pipe, sounded ok. turbo muffler, way quiet, didnt like it. super 44 flowmaster into a dump, was load. my buddy said it was almost deafening when he was moving some rocks around my rear tire

the regular 40 series flowmaster isnt as loud, but the sound is still there. i am running a cherry bomb now just into a dump, and the droning is starting to annoy me. im thinkin about a new tailpipe, but i dont have the room where i want to run it so im stuck for awile
