Default Muffler question

Hello,
Has anyone kept their single exhaust muffer and added a high performance muffer or set up? If so could you please share .

Thanks

I had a Pypes axle back for several years I liked it, but after I went to a S/C I got duals

What type of gains if any did you receive with the Pypes axel back?

you're not going to get any performance gains from changing the muffler. it will just sound different

I went to a Manual GT muffler on my 2010 before I did dual exhaust, no performance gains but the freer breathing did net me almost 2.5 MPG on my commute. It also sound a bunch better also.

I went with dual GT Mufflers and Pypes mid pipe. I also noticed an increase in gas mileage as well as it sounding a whole lot better than the wimpy V6 muffler.
