Muffler for E85 non M

Can anybody recommend a better sounding muffler for the non M 3.0i cars. Pretty much anything I find here are M cars. I just want it to sound better so at least I can hear it and maybe a little deeper bass sound.

have you done the sound generator mod yet? I did mine a couple months after i got the car as an interim to finding an exhaust. It tunnels the intake rasp into the cabin via tube through the firewall, which from factory is filled with sound insulation. the mod is to simply remove some of the insulation to allow more sound through.

Going custom on the exhaust btw

Yup got that done, sounds better when you are hard on the go pedel but not much else. I would still like to just change the muffler without going with a total exhaust system just yet. I have only had the car for about 4 months and living in North Dakota have only gotten about 200 miles on it so far.

I just installed the Supersprint race exhaust and Y-pipe. It's quieter but more bassy than I expected. I'll post videos soon.

Here you go. I'll put up videos later. The camera was 10-15 feet away, at about a 45 degree angle from the centerline of the car to avoid distortion.
