I think you'll be fine going with 2.5 inch exhaust, but I have no suggestions for a muffler because I can't, for the life of me, remember the best sounding/flowing mufflers for Quads...except maybe Borla. :)

I would go 2.5 and use a Magnaflow muffler.

I recommend 2.25" and Borla.

yeah im still debating on the muffler, i have 2.25 and a dynomax super turbo.. it used to sound good, but even when it did it was uber loud and the interior renasonce was terrible.. couldnt hear a thing.. Does anyone have a soundclip with a quad and a borla?

Hmm, you may want to stick a small glasspack resonator on after the cat. (where the stock resonator was) I don't have a resonator, my Borla's are pretty loud, tho not obnoxious. Interior noise isn't too bad at all.

I've been meaning to grab some sound clips... if the weather is nice tonight I may do that.

Any follow ups here? Im really looking for some options for my quad but theres just so many possiblities, not like i can try every size of pipe and every combo of muffler/resonator/whatever else :P

I like it too be quite loud and sound deep. My current setup sounds ok, i have a long glass pack in place of my converter and a glass pack cut in half and everything taken out of it for a large tip. It sounds very good for the few bucks i spent on it. But ive heard better sounding. As long as it doesnt sound like little mini farts going off :)

If thats what you want, get other peoples opinions too cause that is the only quad car ive ever heard with something different then stock on it, i thought it sounded good though

I have heard that Dynomax sounds pretty good on Quads, but that Borla sounds the best. Of course, Dynomax is quite a bit cheaper than Borla. :)

yeah my dynomax ran me like 30 bucks for the muffler, and double that for the tip... wasnt expensive at all, it took quite a bit of beating too with me backing into curbs and the like lol... im going with a borla i think when i replace my exhust AGAIN lol.. try to be careful with this one

Can't wait to hear them! Aside from the sound clips I have from my friend Kevin (and his 442 and I-Series Calais), I have not heard a sound clip from a Quad in a long time. :)

Cant wait too hear! i might be getting rid of the grand am, i found a fiero that has 60 000 kms on it for 2500, its mint.. an 84, might take the quad out of the grand am and rebuild it for the fiero... i just have to come up with 700 more bucks for the car

i had a flowmaster 60 series muffler with a 3 inch stainless tip, and it sounded very nice. it wasnt too raspy like the hondas and it had quite a unique tone. expensive muffler tho...sheesh
