Hi!<p>Right now I have a custom 2" catback with a straight through muffler and a glasspack as resonator. It produces a powerfull sound which is ok for city driving but for highway, it's an other story (I do 700km of highway every two weeks and I get an headache every time).<p>To go back to a quiet sound without to much compromising performance, I'm thinking about switching back to stock pipes with a more descent muffler. The flowmaster 60 series muffler seem the be the best choice for me.<p>-Has anyone used one of those on their 4 cyl. mx-3?
-What do you think?

Did you loose any MPG when you switched. Is your engine a 1.6L?

What muffler & glasspack are you running now?
I started out with a hi-flow cat, 2" pipe back to the muffler, sounded like a Cesna at anything over 45 MPH. ugh! When I broke the down pipe I got that problem fixed.<p>I put in an entire system in my 1.6L DOHC. 2" pipe from the collector flange on back. A 2.25" flex joint into a hi-flow cat, 24x2" cherry bomb under the seats, back through a Magnaflow dual tip muffler that looks alot like the stock pipes. P/N:14830

It sounds good with a deep mellow tone, not like a 400 lb bumble bee, and was bearable on the highways as well. I did get better milage at highway speeds, & a better top end as well. Great mod if you do a lot of distance driving, best use for these way high geared pigs.
