on my 2004 reg cab i5 colorado Im having the first cat gutted, the second one removed and having the exhaust exit out of the passenger side right before the first tire while keeping stock pipes, im not sure what kind of muffler to get, i want it to sound deep, not riced and not extremely loud,
thanks for the help

Magnaflow should sound good on there too.

I've got a Flowmaster Super 40 on mine, straight out the back. Not sure if I like the straight out the back bit, would have preferred side exit I think. No drone in the cab except slightly at 35mph, 50mph+ is pretty much silent (can barely hear the exhaust over wind/road noise while cruising).

I don't know if I'd go as far as to say the i5 sounds like a V8 with a Super 40, but it sounds darned good. Just make sure it exits out from under the bodywork, either at the side or rear. If you have a down turned tip under the truck you'll get a lot of reverb and drone from that.

I know what your saying there and I have a V8 in the garage sounds not as deep but it is not even close to ricey either. The misses says its different and nice for a baby motor... However her equinox is only a 3.4 v6... O and yes weve had this arguement a few times. But I hate to say it she whips me off the line but I real her in quick once the torque starts moving...
