Hello, I wish to increase the sound of my exhaust and I am considering having my awesome exhaust shop install a fullboar muffler on my vibe ('04 base, K&N typhoon this week). I do not want to spend $400 for the magnaflow for two reasons: 1) I am not made of money, 2) I have had great experience with the fullboar mufflers before.My '95 Camaro 3.4l has a fullboar 1 in 2 out muffler with 4" tips and sounds way better than any flowmaster I have ever heard on a v6. ($180 parts/labor less less the tips for stainless)My '00 Grand Am had a fullboar muffler put inline straight out the back with a 3.5" resonator tip and sounded sweet too. ($80 parts/labor less the tip).Has anyone installed a fullboar on a vibe? Any suggestions for a tip/size of tip. Thanks in advance for the help.

the magnaflow is a axel back system not just a muffler, thats why its a little more pricey. never heard of fullboar either. if you search the site theres plenty of posts with sound clips of members exhaust systems and what brand they used
crap... see i had this discussion with bluecrush + im tired so maybe i messed up somethings.. axle back crap...yea nvm the magnaflow is a full cat back so it includes the axle back part and the cat. ahhhh sorry bout that. if you just want a muffler, borla or dynomax. heres bluecrushes dynomaxhttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=21231
The fullboar mufflers have a higher cfm than most flowmasters. Check them out: http://199.236.118.103/PDFs/09...2.pdfThey do not sell direct to the public, but my local muffler shop uses them and even does custom exhausts for local dealers including Ford, BMW, and Chevrolet.I heard a F-350 5.4triton with duals and it sounded great.

I went with a 3.5" Resonator tip. The exhaust is on, CAI too. I will post some pics later tonight-maybe some sound clips if I can figure out how to...The sound is good--louder, but not a fart cannon sound. For $100 + $25 for the tip, I am happy. I think it sounds as good as the $400 magnaflow.Here's a pic of the Typhoon on.
