Default aero turbine in place of scuba?

i am thinking of maybe going to a aero turbine muffler and resonater for my exhaust. What do you all think? I can purchase a muffler and resonater for around 150 and have the 2.5 piping put in.

any experience with these mufflers i want something different and quieter while still gaining power.

i would def atleast try it, cuz the scuba tank is so restrictive, worst some to worst, you throw it back in if you dont like the way it comes out. i cant wait to get rid of mine, as soon as i get the money im gettin full exhaust

yea i agree with posting some video clips of the sound, cuz i just checked those mufflers out and i think it would sound pretty sweet on our motor.

it shouldnt sound too much different on the xb2 cuz its the same motor as the tc, but that exhaust sounds pretty damn sweet on the mini, i really want one, but like chris said, i want the ebay system first to get rid of the scuba tank and crap. then ill weld in an aero muffler and see how it sounds.

I have an aeroturbine and a magnaflow high flow on a cxraxing catback. Sounds good but man without that silencer it gets loud. I think I'm going to have a transverse single in dual out welded in place of the canister. I'm not a fan of fart can mufflers.
