Wouldn't be much fun unless you could gripe about products by name.

I recently had the Walker Dynomax Turbo muffler installed, not for the
sound but for the extra power.  On that score I am very happy.  It not
only has more power at the usual peak, but noticably more at lower RPMs
where it was previously lacking.  The sound is also different, and
most people like it more.  I'm not so sure.  It's a small, high RPM
engine, so I guess it'll never sound like a 427 Cobra...  One last
advantage, it's much less expensive than other mufflers.
$79 installed here in LA.
