Question Best muffler for a 1990 2.3L Mustang?

Ok, I want to put a new muffler on my 2.3 but I don't know which one. I like a deep sounding exhaust, but then again I have heard some nice glasspacks. I have heard some 2.3's with super 44's on them and they sound cool. Which one is the best? This is what it sounds like now.

I wanna know what a magnaflow sounds like on the 2.3L. I've been over the whole muffler debate in my head so many times, I just gave up. Someday when I do an engine swap, I'll do something with the exhaust, but for now I'm just leaving it stock.

What about this. Dynomax-Ultraflow.

Only one thing need a turbo to go with it. Maurice

I got a Flowmaster 40 original series on both my 2.3s . You can hear a nice deep sound on my 91' 2.3 at 1,800 RPMs. And on my SVO its more of a throaty sound.

I think the 40 sounds much better than the 44, also has anyone put electric cutouts on their 2.3?

No don't get a glass pack, unless ur looking for power then you can get some sure torque out of it if you bypass the car! But if you don't then might as well go with the Flowmaster 44!
