Default XB Muffler choices? (update)TwinLoop installed!

Hello everybody.Wanted opinions on the Megan Gt-spec.I have used Magnaflow in the past and like the sound.I have seen the cheaper ones on E-bay but not sure of their quality or sound. I know I will get what I pay for, so what are you guys/gals using? :?

Ihave a custom Magna flow 2" cat back with 14"resenator and 18" ovalbody muffler ,It has a nice deep sound . 2" exhaust works perfect ,gains alittle more low end power ,as the 2.25 " exhaust gains more top end .and a little louder .
hope this helps .

I had the twinloop muffler installed this last weekend(sorry no pics the site is having probs) and I like it .The sound is mild only 10-20% louder than stock. I left the resonator on behind the cat because I was not sure if it would pass emissions and did not want to loose power or torque.?I went with a 2inch pipe and the sound is about level with the sound of the engine and when you let off the gas and the engine quiets down you hear the muffler slightly(not annoying on freeway).I think I will leave the resonator there and try a 4-2-1 header next,that should bring up the sound a bit. Thanks for your opinions and advice. SCXB...

that resonator is the worse part of your exh system. get a 4 inch round resonator not a cherry bomb but a resonator non louvered type. a perforated core type.
