Summit? Thrush? Dynomax?

Any of those good? I dont want to spend much.

When it comes to your stang.......don't go w/ the cheap brands for anything. You get what you pay for. Do it right the first time. We've all wasted $$$ on swapping parts that should've been used the first time......it's a lesson we all learn. Dynomax isn't a cheap muffler though......I'd stay away from the Summit or Thrush ones. Just my 2 cents.

I agree 100%. Don't waste your money. You'll spend more in the long run. And as mysweetlx said, Dynomax aren't cheap at all. Flowmasters and Magnaflows are both cheaper or around the same price and they are all good sets.

If you want a good muffler that doesn't cost an arm and a leg go with the Dynomax Super Turbo.....It flows well and sounds good too

Dynomax are only $30 in Summit

Im almost cetainly gonna sell the car when Im done, and im unemployed, so I cant afford to spend $100 just on mufflers.

if you want cheap and your gonna sell it anyway..go with the Dynomax Bullets. Cheap $30 a pair, and lightweight.

I agree, save your money and go for a little bit more expensive cat-back. If you were to go with Mac, or any other cheaper cat-back, you will more than likely experience alot of drone and may experience some fitment problems. Personally, I would go for a straight through design and make sure that the system is stainless steel. This will insure that the system will not rust, and that it will last you for as long as you have your car. Some companies include Magnaflow and Borla. Hope I was able to help.

p.s.
I am not totally bashing the cheaper cat-back kits. They sound great and provide horsepower gain, it is just from friends experiences, this is what I have found to be the best thing to do.
