I personally am not a fan of Flows and most chambered mufflers. But if you want to go that route, IMCO makes chambered mufflers that are pretty much identical to flows for cheaper. I personally like straight pipe, as far back as you wanna go. Otherwise I prefer magnaflows/ bullet performance mufflers or other straight thru design mufflers.

Borla is way on the spendy side in my book. I would say the cheapest cat-back system I have seen is the gibson. But best/probably cheapest way would be go to a good exhaust shop and have a custom one done.

I've always like Dynomax... I used to run a pair of Super Turbos on my Cutlass. They were cheap, flowed good, sounded good, and were readily available in whatever size and layout I wanted.

I have a dynomax superturbo and at first i was dissapointed by it. I soon learned that you need to let itself run through heat cycles or something like that. I got mine in august and it sounds very very good. id recommend it. im not sure about the flowmaster or any of those other ones so im a little ignorant to those but i am very happy with my super turbo.

You might look into Magnaflows and if you are after sound then try Cherry Bombs.

Yeah i am looking into getting a new one myself, i have a flowmaster and its not as loud as i would like it to be, its kinda deep, but not near as throaty so, it doesnt feel that intimidating. anyways any of you can put sound bites on here so we can hear what your exhausts sound like?
I dont have the money to waist for trial and error

have a flowmaster, with a apn manifold. sounds alright at certain rpms but at higher rpms you cant hear it. sounds good idling and what not, but it doesnt compare to the sounds my tj had with a flowmaster. i also have 2.5" pipe from the muffler back. my second choice prob would have been a cherry bomb lol
