Yeah its not a nice sound as a V8 does but i picked this magnaflow as an offroad muffler in 1st place, sound was of no concern to me. I can tell you, itll take a heck of a hit before it dents. I had 3 collars holding it and had it welded also. I am usually rough on things, and since im going to get a skid plate i needed to replace that before i do. I dont hate the sound but it is too loud. Still, i enjoy it because i know itll take a good amount of hit before i break it. But if you dont go offroad, you dont need it.
I agree, I think I would prefer a tougher muffler that will take a wack and keep on humming instead of a pretty one that looks like it needs lipstick and babbles.........I don't mean that in a bad way....
