hey there I am looking to replace the exhaust on my galant. I dont quite know where to start I dont have much to spend but i dont want to get something real cheap and get screwed. I have looked on ebay and they have them ranging from about 10 bucks to 150 but I dont wasnt to go really cheap and get some stupid obnoxious muffler. How do i choose? I could use some suggestions if you have any or if anyone has a used muffler for a good price please let me know.or if anyone has experience with those cheap ebay mufflers good or bad i want to know.

Magnaflow as a first choice...Dynomax as a second. Have had both on my car....both reliable, neither sounds like a fart can.

Awesome tone. I'm going to assume thats a 4 cylinder, how would it sound on a V6, deeper???

I would avoid at all possible costs on buying a cheap Ebay muffler...I have seen those things literally fall apart. I have seen and heard a few Magnaflows, and they sound pretty good. I personally have a Blitz Nur Spec on my 7g and a Apexi N1 on my Galant VR4 and I am very happy with both. I used to have a Meagan N1 style on my Galant VR4 when I first bought the car...the previous owner bought it so I can have a muffler on the car on its drive to Florida. I was impressed with the Megan muffler and the sound was good.

When I go to magnaflow's site, they don't offer a muffler for 9g's... so how is it that you guys are saying you like magnaflows so much? Unless I missed something...

I'm wanting to get a nice low rumble without being obnoxious or sounding like a go kart... but I have no idea about mufflers or the difficulty putting one on.

Help? Suggestions?

there is nothing but what i have thats made for the 9g. the guys talking about magnaflow are either 7 or 8g. orrrr had something custom made.

I may have missed something... but between Magnaflow, and all the others... I'm not finding a single muffler that is for a 9g. So.... ?

I'm running into the same problem with intakes.

I think you would need a Eclipse 4G catback to modify it, or many of us just use a muffler, a Magnaflow with Tip
For Performance mods you need to use 4G eclipses parts 06-present

It's just a universal muffler and then you get the custom piping made at the muffler shop.

Megan muffler actually sounds pretty good I've searched it on YouTube. Particularly the Megan GT.

reeeeeeeeeeeead the words that are coming out of my computer.
there is no cat back system made for the 9g galant. i have, on my car, the ONLY axle back exhaust made for the 9g. if you want the same thing, i can set that up for you. but it doesnt come cheap.
you can always use a universal muffler, which is what most people do for the 9g.
the stock piping is big enough. so all you need is a muffler and high flow cat.

as for intakes. like OMEGA said. you need to search for the 06+ eclipse. my suggestion is fugita. its well made and the least expensive.
