the TCR muffler was the perfect level of volume IMO. You could hear it under heavy throttle but otherwise very sedate for day to day driving.
Pros: perfect volume, sedate daily driving

take the car to the muffler shop ..ask them to remove the muffler, resonator and straight pipe the exhaust from the catalytic back.... Thank me later... Permits that 20 valve engine to breath proper... And the 2.5L is so perfectly balanced and engineered it's still quiet... Until you hit the accelerator... Changes the entire driving experience...
Pros: permits engine to breath

Volkswagen New Beetle
Mileage: 157000 km
removing the mid muffler gave just what i needed for my GT.
Pros: gave just what i needed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I have had bad experiences with non-OEM parts on my VWs and INSIST on OEM parts even for things like mufflers. They never fit exactly right and the quality is never as good as OEM.
Pros: better fit with OEM
Cons: poor quality, bad fit
