Re: need to change mufflers...

try an x-pipe first. Then go with Borla Pro-XS's

Cheap Route: Stick some Dynomax Super Turbos in place of the flowmasters...better power and much quieter.

Any straight-through muffler will be quieter at cruise, as will an X pipe.

Re: need to change mufflers...

Borla used to make all of Steedas catbacks. Not sure about the new one though.
