Muffler help?

[Fletch627]

So I'm looking at getting a muffler put on my Balt, just because I want to add a little noise to it. I went in to autozone today and they have a Dynomax 17702 Thrush Turbo Muffler for like $35. However, I know nothing about it. After talking to the guy he suggested a Flowmaster Performance Muffler that is $85. I'm not worried about the price so much, just want something that sounds good. Either of these any good? If not, any suggestions?

honestly a muffler is a muffler only difference is sound. By your statement "add a little noise" I assume you are working with a completely stock platform in which case any type of performance enhancement will be minimal. I suggest you take a look at youtube and listen to a few sound clips and see what you like.

side note: you get what you pay for, buy a cheap muffler it'll rust out quicker than a more expensive one.

Yep, all stock. Minimal? How can I get it louder then? I don't want it to be so loud that it's annoying, but I want to be able to hear it lol

remove the stock air box (silencer) and get an intake, it will be alot louder
