Aftermarket muffler?
Anyone have any experience with replacing your OEM muffler with an aftermarket one? I saw one by OBX, $125. Dunno if this is a good deal... Are there any gains on replacing your muffler? Thanks!

TP's got it. Looks much better than factory muffler. Despite what others say and what manufacturers claim, TP isn't kidding about the horsepower. You won't feel any difference.

I change my muffler to an imitation remus muffler that looks almost similar to the one posted. Bought it off ebay for $90+. Don't feel no difference in horsepower wise.
