I am a female with a small child and wanting to know what the best exhaust is for the money. I don't want something extremely loud. My stock exhaust is rattling and think it's a bad baffle. Could some please give me some suggestions. I'm looking at the Magnaflow 16581?

Welcome to the site! Thing about sound level is that it's subjective. What you and other view as loud are two totally different things. That being said, I think the axleback of the part you're looking at would do fine for you. Borla is another good place to look. Anything with a muffler on it will most likely satisfy you.

Solo mach xl with j pipes ftw! I have a full exhaust and it sounds just perfect. Sounds a little deeper than stock at idle, but screams at WOT, and with no drone whatsoever on the highway.

Spitfil2e · 03-01-2017, 07:18 AM

Borla S-Type catback. Its not that much different than stock just cruising around. But at WOT you can tell the difference. I also have a 5 year old and an 8 year old. Good luck out there

That axleback should give you a nice sound for sure. Should be fairly quiet and deep at idle, quiet under cruise and loud under WOT.

If you can pick up a used NPP exhaust system (OEM), I think it would be cost effective, and they sound great, especially with LTH's.

Before spending any $$$ have a muffler shop check to see what exactly is wrong..that way what ever you end up buying will FIX the rattle..which is why you want to do this, right?

If just the muffler then an axle back would do the trick..still stock headers and cats? No matter what exhaust with stock cats it will not get that loud...good luck...

We have a ton of systems that would work for you. If you want a nice new rumble that you can live with everyday check out a Solo system. They sound wicked, never drone and are cost effective especially if you're just going to go with the axleback.

Abelardoo_12 · 03-01-2017, 11:21 AM

All you need is to go to a local muffler shop and tell them to put on a pair of magnaflow bullets, it will be quit with a nice smoot rumble and make a little noise but with a great tone to it when your stepping on it. It will no be too loud

BAD DAB · 03-01-2017, 01:47 PM

The Solo Axle back with J-Pipes will give you a good sound and they wont drone.

GONIF · 03-01-2017, 02:43 PM

I bet if you look there are some stock take off's you could get cheap or for free.

dino2012ls3 · 03-01-2017, 06:29 PM

I would go to exhaust shop and confirm that the rattle is the mufflers and than while you're there have them do a muffler delete. Cheapest way to make it sound like a muscle car. Keeping everything stock with just muffler deletes gives u a nice tone with cheap price.

10tnc · 03-02-2017, 02:36 AM

Thanks for the all the advice. My next move is cam and headers soon
