Nah, mine sounds like balls. I think the Dynomax
muffler is already blown (after not even a year) so
I'll swap that out for a SS Borla. Does anyone know
what size muffler I have to get. I was going through
the book at work, but I have no idea what to get. It's
a 2" system. I was thinking something with a large
inlet than 2" because my midpipe and tailpipe go
INSIDE the inlet and outlet of the dynomax. Also
length would help too.

Me neither I can't take my buddy in a digifant Golf.
It's bad news. Mind you the only mod that I've done to
the engine is a K&N and TT system.

Nigel, how come you don't do jobs like this on my
car?!!?!? Sure, you'll fix your car all day and as
soon as it's time for us to do something on my car
"Oh, it's fucked. Screw it, it'll be fine. Just leave
it"

You better get your priorities straight buddy.
