    Can someone reccomend a good quality rear muffler?

    I'm after something oval - 2.5" inlet to replace the cannons on my car....

    Don't want anything too loud as I often do fairly long distances (heading down to do the great ocean road later in the year :D )

    Been looking at something like the XForce 6"X10" Oval: MP02

    Any suggestions on sellers/products?

    Cheers

    I was in the exact same boat as you a few weeks ago - replacing loud cannons with 2.5" oval mufflers.
    If you're not making big power ie over 300RWKW, then those X force MP02's will be fine - I've been told that they don't last too long with high powered cars as the seams open up inside.
    I you've got the money - look up the VAREX systems or if you want the absolute best mufflers with the least noise, you can't beat REMUS.

    Have been doing some more research - looks like Hitech mufflers may be a good option?
    http://hitechmufflers.com.au/

    Does anyone know if the 11"x6" oval would fit or would I need to go down to the 8.5"x5.5"?
    Anyone got any experience with Hitech?

    Did think about Magnaflows - but I'm after something with a bit bigger body.....

    Nice but not nice enough at $1400+ lol

    They are the ones that I've got - I scored them pretty cheap of another member (BLACKBEAST) - top quality, highly recommended

    I'm not sure of the style or name of the ones that I've got, I'm pretty sure they were custom order - best ask BLACKBEAST or have a chat to Hi-tech over the phone.
    They are 5 x 9" - but packed in twice as tight as the X-force's - I know this because the guy who installed my mufflers had an x force muffler cut open & it was pretty loosely packed inside.
    Slightly smaller body with extra tight packing is gonna be quieter than larger body with not so tight packing inside.
    I also heard the Magnaflows are packed in a similar fashion to the x forces, but much higher quality everywhere else.
