Default Which Muffler to get?

I am looking at a muffler to put on an extra pipe I have, as a winter project to see what it sounds like. anyone tried any of these?

Dynomax turbo thrush ( $20 or so)
Edelbrock RPM Muffler ( around $100)
Summit racing (various mufflers)

Also, do i need to weld it on, or can i just clamp it?

What size inlet do I need for the stock pipe size?

I beleive stock is 2.5 or 2.25 inches.

I use a Magnaflow muffler on my car, it's loud, but sounds good, until ya get in the range of 4000 to 5000 RPM, then it's kinda raspy.

Closest to stock in aftermarket is Bosal. YMMV.

Flo pro. http://ultimate4wheeldriveperformance.com/exhaust.htm

I prefer it over EVERY muffler I've heard on a 944.

Which Flowmaster, there are several categories. 50, 60 etc. sounds best on our cars....I need a new muffler too, but don't want too loud.

Dan- I was kidding!

Listen to BlueS2's SFR. (The .wav file is in his sig) You'll make up your mind.

An SFR is hard to justify when it costs more than my car.

I've heard that one before, The SFR is beautiful, but in my personal opinion overkill on the NA, I mean I don't want a bigger pipe, that will just rob performance, I just want a deeper sound.

I was also thinking about a little WOOOO WOOOO!

Agree with Luis, Bosal has a nice product. The lifetime warrant is $20.

If you were to hang on just a few weeks, PowerWerks is comming up with some new interesting products for our cars (including exhaust parts).

When I buy a muffler, is the advertised inlet the inside diameter or outside diameter? Do I want a muffler to fit inside of the pipe or outside of the pipe?
Thinking about getting a cheaper muffler, not sure if I'll like it, may want to go back to stock.
