Default Muffler Help

Hey guys I just got my 08 stang a few months ago and really want to improve the sound of the exhaust. I only have about $200 max to spend as I'm too busy paying for the car and college. The only thing that is done to the car as of now is a K&N air filter. What is the best sounding muffler (right pipe size for my car) I can get with my budget that includes all the hangers (I need it to use the factory mounts)? I don't know what else i can do in my budget that will get me the best sound (besides a different muffler) so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

You are either going to have to raise your budget or lower your expectations a bit.

The best $50 you can spend is a GT takeoff...and just run one for now. The single GT takeoff will improve the sound quite a bit.

I bought both and was going to run the duals, but am running just the one for now and am pleased with the sound. There are other real mods that I will do before a superficial mod such as duals.

maybe a dumb question but is a gt takeoff just the muffler from the gt? if so do you have to do anything to the bumper or can you just put it on? and does

Nope....just the muffler. Install takes 30 mins max.

Better sound..better flow...and cheap to boot!

I bought both, but may not ever go to duals as the sound is what I wanted, but is quiet enough for daily driving. MUCH better sound than the Singer sewing machine as stock.

You can get them on Ebay for less than $50 all the time...or here in the classifieds.
