    i had a powervault PV2 on my VX and i loved the way it sounded.... i got compliments all the time.

    even had quite a few ask me if it was a V8...

    x2 on that I love my PV2.. when its time to replace it i dunno what I'll do, I've heard some glasspack magnaflows that sounded really nice on 6 cyls, so I'll probably go that route

    After two years there was nothing left inside my 14” magnaflow. it was hollow. i also have the joy of spitting out chunks of mesh from my magnaflow cats. man it gets buzzing when a chunk got lodged in the pipe. i like glass packs tho. i now have a super dyno max and love it.

    RallyDude are you talking about running the SuperTrapp by itself? SuperTrapps don't have any internal baffling - basically just a VERY short glass-pack inside a megaphone with the disks at the end providing additional sound attenuation by reflection and limiting exhaust flow. Unless you remove so many disks that performance suffers, you'll be LOUD. If the SuperTrapp is in addition to an existing muffler and you're just trying to take a few more dBs off like what Ldub did you should be alright but (to my ears at least) SuperTrapps alone are just too loud for street use. But then I like the stock exhaust note (or lack thereof) better than that of any of the other systems I've heard via sound clip.

    Sooooo... as long as we've run this newbie off, jacked his thread and turned it into a searchable discussion about mufflers... Here's a question for you guys (and gals) that have been to Moab or somewhere where you get to listen to multiple mufflers at the same time:

    Which aftermarket muffler sounds closest to OEM?

    I assume this is a X3 on Borla.

    perhaps we should do a poll on this topic

    Yes thats an X3 on Borla. Mine is not too loud, but has a nice gurgle to it when you get that lead foot. Sounds real sweet when you first start it up. Not like a ricer fart pipe at all.

    A poll might be in order, I don't think Ive seen an exhaust poll on here yet.
