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.

never heard of fullboar.I like the look of a 3.5" or 4" tip... design is all up to you.good luck and post some pics when is done... this is something I have to do soon too.CAN-AWD-VIBE

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

I haven't heard of fullboar as well, so I can't comment on it. I went with a custom borla system, and it sounds great.

NorthVibe, Magnaflow is advertised as being cat-back. I think Borla, is the axle-back ur probably thinking of.

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.
