Default Good cheap Muffler for FI applications

I picked up a Galant VR4 and it has some little odds and ends. Such as a 2.5" exhaust..straight exhaust from the turbo to very end. Straight tubing, no cat, no muffler. Now it isn't that insanely loud like my 86 was but it's not far from. I'm not too much into a N1 fartcan as it's my daily driver. I know quite a few people like the "Turbo" mufflers at autozone. Cheap and sounded nice and looked like any old plain jane muffler. So let me know what kind of mufflers you guys have/had and what results you had and what kind of tone it had...low grumble, high pitch bitch scream, honda fart, constant drone. I know..I know there's so many variables but let me hear something. Hell type something for the love of baby Jesus!!!! I can't stand silence...well I would like to in my car but too much silence. lol.

Magnaflow or Summit Racing's turbo muffler. I'm not using either, but I've read some good feedbacks about them having good sound quality.

a local guy had a 3" hks muffler with a 24" resonator on his galant vr4 and it sounded pretty nice. had a raspy idle, but wot the resonator muted the fart sound to a toleratable level.

Dynomax Super Turbo!! flows great and is quiet as hell

im currently running an ebay 3" inlet N1 style, its alright. add a little ricer effect, and i find people try to ---- with me more. which i dont mind because there are a lot of slow cars here that love to get owned. ill probably be going back to the turbo muffler for the lower profile though

You think thats bad, there was a local running around a while ago with 3" dp and 3" straight exhaust to a gigantic can... THAT was loud...

But I know two people with turbo hondas that have magnaflows and they quiet them down nicely (they're shaped like stock mufflers)... and although i havent seen the summit turbo muffler on a turbo car, ive seen them on NA cars and it quieted them down and gave it a nice sound.
