Default new muffler vs new axleback exhaust?

Hi, after spending all that money on a new injen CAI im left with $200 and I want to my tc to have a little roar but I don;t want to be spending $400-$500+ for a measly few hp gains since all axleback are almost the same... MY friend said that I can either get a Fireball exhaust or get a new muffler...

The fireball is dirt cheap at only $100 + $40 shipped but after hearing it attached to my friend's tc i gotta say it sounds awful in my opinion... sounds like a bunch of bees buzzing around in a folgers coffee can... he told me it;s becuz of his short ram and his headers that make that sound and that the fireball makes a low roar sound... and the second option was to get a brand name muffler of my choice and have a body shop weld it on...


anyways if i choose to do the new muffler option will it sound as good as the whole kit???


Basicly i want it to sound like this

you need to hear the obx if 200 is your target, i had it before and there is 0 rasp if you are running stock header. I dont have sound clip but as far as looks its a copy of injen exhaust.

getting something welded on is so 90's ghetto style, bolt-on is less headache even tho it may cost more you never know if you need the stock back on.

highest ive seen it on ebay is 250 but ive seen some rarely tho go below 200. just be patient and monitor the classified area here and ebay for used ones.

theres always someone here swapping exhaust like swingers =p
