I have a fabspeed euro premuffler. Started with stock, tried a Bursch (aka, Dynomax), and then went to an M&K 1-in / 1-out (which I have now). Maybe a couple of months during the summer I run the fabspeed muffler bypass (dump tip), and I love the tone but not the volume of sound - it's just too loud if you're in a neighborhood. The M&K's ok, I get compliments here & there on it.
Keeps the stock exchangers this way. With a Welt chip, my 84's making 198-204hp at the wheels; I'm hoping to someday pull the trigger on a Steve Wong chip, and update the DME while doing so.
Good luck!

The prior owner of my '84 Carrera fitted the car with a Dansk pre muffler and a Dansk sport muffler. The parts were just added before I got the car.
They fit reasonably well (I swapped out the pre muffler with a cat for emissions purposes and then put the pre muff back on) and have a good tone. Build quality seems good, though the parts have only seen about 10,000 miles. There is no resonance at any rpms and the exhaust is throaty, but not overbearing.
Hope this helps as another point of reference.

I have a Dansk 2 in/2 out/SSIs on 82 SC RoW coupe (223 hp). Sets car alarms to chirping (if not setting them off full song) while idling through parking lots (underground garages are a lot of fun - blip it a few times and listen to the music
).
Cops don't turn their heads when I'm with them in traffic and my neighbors live with it (I'm real considerate whilst within their earshot). Cruises benignly with no drone. Drop the hammer and all hell breaks loose!
You-Tube sound on typical computer speakers is pretty crappy, doesn't tell you much.

I had a Monty 2-in 1-out (with SSI) on the car and it was very reliable, but I wanted something louder. I now have a M&K 2-in, 2-out which sounds awesome, but is more fragile than the Monty (it cracked, Ben repaired it, and both muffler straps have since broken and disappeared). I still have the Monty on a shelf as a backup for the M&K until I'm satisfied it will last.

to be fair we do NOT make the band straps they are purchase from mcmaster.com as constant t- hose clamps. They are very inexpensive and have worked very well for most everybody that I know of. You should run the straps or get replacements. The gen4's really don't need them as they are reinforced in all the good areas but you would not catch me running without them. The 1 in 1 outs are a different story they are and always were very stout and have never had 1 failure. The 2 in models have had 10 total ever so still good odds.
To best anser the question I would suggest a 1 in muffler from any of the great muffler manufactures out there. GHL and Monty are very good choices I would stay away from B&B as we have seen allot of those in for repair . The dansk are always a nice choice as well as they are OEM fit without question.
good luck

FWIW, I get a LOT of comments on the sound of the M&K at the track, and luckily, it is right on the db limit (100 db) of my local track.
