What is a decent, not overly expensive GOOD SOUNDING muffler for my Turbo S? I am thinking of putting a 40 Series flowmaster on as I like the way it sounded on my 944S however, I am told it might not sound the same/as good. I am open to suggestions. I have a 2.5" stock exhaust now.

I've been doing some research on this same topic, as I'm ready to buy a new cat back system myself. I know it's not the cheapest, but I'm buying the Borla XR-1 muffler from SFR. If you buy the muffler (part #90944) straight from Borla, I believe its somewhere around $160. Everyone who's used one has told me nothing but great things about it!

Have you searched this forum for "borla XR"?
Or you could measure the size you want, i.e. length, width, the inlet and outlet size you need and surf the borla web site to see what XR-1's are available. Hint:

Pretty easy, eh?

If he would like to get the 2.5'' inlet, then he is more than welcome to, but that certainly wouldn't stop him from being able to use that muffler. Once again Jeeper, I'm sorry if I missled you at all by being incorrect on the number.

Not a problem. I ask and I search. Really don't see the big deal. I find that people could usually answer the question in less words then they use to scold the person for not searching. Sometimes asking just saves time.
Now back to our regularly secheduled program. My muffler.
If I got a 3" muffler with the intentions of going 3" i am assuming there would be no change in performance. How would a 3" pipe before the muffler change things?

I have a magnaflow on my car, with a 3in exhaust and it sounds amazing, deeper sound at idle and a nice throaty growl when I get on it; the model # is 12249, its a 3 inch in/out. I highly recommend this muffler, I like it better than the flowmasters and borlas that I've heard in the past (although this is a highly subjective thing). I noticed better spoolup as soon as I put on the exhaust, but that's more due to the 3in pipe and a new cat.
