Muffler Options
Hey guys I have an 06 G35 sedan 5AT and I'm looking to buy a muffler or possibly a resonator. A new exhaust system or even just one of the components i.e. y pipe, test pipes, hfc's, etc. is out of the budget. I looked at installing a coupe mid pipe but it's too big to have it shipped and there aren't really any local ones for sale.
1. I'm looking for no drone.
2. I'm looking to have a slightlty deeper/throatier sound without it being very loud.
Do you guys recommend the thrush muffler 17655, a flowmaster muffler, or a vibrant resonator? I know there's the magnaflow muffler but $227 for a muffler just doesnt sit well with me.
Thx.

I've never heard those mufflers on an otherwise stock exhaust so I'm not sure, but personally I'd hold out for a coupe mid-pipe. I absolutely loved the sound of the 'OE+' setup I used to have with the y-pipe off an HR 350z and coupe mid pipe. If ART pipes didn't make power I would have stuck with that setup. Have you checked your local scrap yards or inquired with people doing part-outs?
Good luck, and nice lookin sedan!

i didn't notice too much of a difference when i put on a coupe mid. it still sounded very oem on my 06x. if you're wanting something to sound slightly more sporto, i don't think that will do it alone. i added berk hfcs, megan y-pipe (oem rusted out), and coupe mid and it's still not deep or loud. i wish i had put on art pipes but i didn't find any used ones for sale when i was looking. be patient and something will show up used.

Anyways, good thing this admittedly cheap lame-o has WOT clips from back then so you can actually hear what it sounded like instead of judging based on.... your smarts, I guess?
