They'll usually sound like a Demufflered scooter or a dirtbike regaurdless of what you do. Thays why I'm more worried about performance that how its gonna sound.

i would go with a flowmaster 50 series or maybe a cherrybomb vortex muffler-the flow will have a low rumble sound-i havn't studied the vortex in detail yet-hit up youtube and check for sounds on those 2 products might give you a rough idea on the tones

Its not just the muffler that makes it sound good. Pipe diameter plays a big part. I have a magnaflow 2.25" hi-flow cat, 2.25" Trush chambered muffler, and 2.25" Dynomax tailpipe. It sounds deep and throaty, not like a four banger.

I had a custom exhaust made for my mustang. I went to 2 1/2 pipe, to a Y pipe and to 2 THRUSH mufflers. Costed me like 200 dollars at a Midas including welding. and stainless steel tips to.

I really enjoy the Thrush mufflers. they are quite like stock, but at mid to high rang rpms you sound good. nothing like no harley.
