Vibrant vs. Magnaflow Mufflers
Do any of you guys have either of these mufflers or an Air Dynamic one?? What do you think? Performance, sound, etc. Thanks for the help.

Vibrant Mufflers
I think I can speak pretty confidently about the Vibrant mufflers!
The key features of the Vibrant mufflers:
1)Our mufflers are 100% T304 Stainless steel, including the internal Perf. tube.
2)Our internal packing is NOT individual insulation fibers, ours is made of _woven_ mats, this ensures that the the insulation doesn't blow out of the muffler...Our mufflers sound the same 5 years from now, as the first week you put them on
3)We wrap our perf tube with a stainless steel _ribbon_. Others use stainless steel wool...Our ribbon further ensures that the packing stays in the muffler. The ribbon will not burn up as the steel wool will.
4) Our mufflers provide a low, deep tone..that is quite throaty when you're revving it up, or dusting a honda civic...but when you're just crusing the mufflers are quiet without that awful 'drone'
Check the competition out, seriously. If you can _find_ the information on how their internals are made, you'll see a quality difference right away.
A lot of mufflers look the same, but what's inside is what counts.
Hope this helps,

MikTip,
Unfortunetly due to the fact that we only sell through registered distributors and retaillers a direct 'AudiWorld' discount would be impossible for _me_ to provide.
However...if there was enough interest, I'd be MORE then willing to work out a discount through the proper channels.
As for whether or not I have one on My car...OF COURSE!!!
You may have noticed a lack of signature or photos of my car...this is due to the fact that I rally my daily driver, and parked it in the trees 5 weeks ago. Sigh...
No photos till she's all painted and pretty again!
