Rmills944- one of the main problems with my muffler now is that the tip is so rusted away that it's basically just the muffler left. this causes all of the carbon to accumulate on my bumper. maybe i could just fit some sort of new tip on it. Although the muffler itself is probably just as rusted away!

I listened to the clips at Flowmaster and i think that the 50 series sounds to muscley the 60 series sounded better in my opinion. Anyone have a 60 series? Anyone have a 50 series? Can anyone put up sound or movie clips of their system?

I got a custom system made at a local exhaust shop. It consists of a Magnaflow High Flow Cat, Dynomax Bullet Muffler (used as a resonator), and a Magnaflow Muffler. The piping is upgraded to 2.5" from the cat back.
It sounds good and feels a lot more responsive. Cost me about $ 450. It's pretty loud though. It's tough for me on long trips, but it's great at autocross. I'm actually thinking of selling it and going back to stock. Either that or just getting a stock system that I can put on when taking a long trip.

Could i just get a 2.25" to a 3" step up and just weld that in?

I'll second the Flowmaster 50 series (3 chamber). I have one welded up to the stock pipe, factory looking tip welded to the muffler. More bass than the stock muffler. You can here it coming from down the street (not a ricey load sound, just a deeper sort of rumble). Got the muffler for a little over $100 shipped 3 years ago. A friend welded it up for me. Still on the car

carrera51- do you remember where you got the tip at?
camaromuncher- i definetly agree with you. the 60 series sounds way more like a porsche than the 50 series on the flowmaster website.
Has anyone tried the 60 series, or would it sound too much like a riced-out honduh?

Hockey dude:
I had a cheap aftermarket OEM "style" muffler that had a nice looking OEM like tip on it. I cut that tip off and welded it to the flowmaster.
I ended up going with the 50 series because I got to hear one in person on another 944 n/a.

bigger from the muffler back won't make much difference on these cars since it's about 1 foot of tubing including the tip from the muffler back. The tip is just for decoration - no difference in sound unless it's resonated.
