Dynomax muffler choices

[treed2@u.washington.edu (T. Reed)]

I have one of these and my take on them is that they're good, but not
great. The oval ones sound better than the round ones, in my experience.

As long as you don't live in the rust belt you should get well over
$30 worth of use out of one. jegs.com has them relatively cheap. For my
16v I went with the 17747 superturbo which fits fine, but I had to
fabricate hangers for it by bending some metal stock and making some
"clamp brackets" to connect the hangers and muffler pipes.

I would recommend a stainless muffler if you can afford it. But if you're
a broke bastard like me, a superturbo is a good, cheap choice.
