True, these may be fine cars, but I do not want to pay $200 for a muffler, if I could get one as good for $50-$60. I may let it go for a while longer. As mentioned, it is not all that loud and I do not smell any exhaust fumes...
Your best option is to get both front and rear mufflers (youll likley be able to get a discount and get both for less than $300.00 shipped) When one goes the other is often not far behind.
They are excelent mufflers... and will outlast any cheaper alternative saving money in the long run... and maintan the value of the car.
