I don't want loud and droning at highway speeds and I love the look of dual black pipes.

best looking with dual black tips I've seen is Flowmaster. might be a little loud though.

some folks just throw the amazon turn down tip on the stock ends. which is cheap and doesn't look too bad.
I'd do the Amazon thing but I don't like the tip pointing left and right. I like straight down or out. I guess I'm more for the look.

I went with the Flowmaster FX, not too loud, (just enough) In in the almost 2 years I've had it on, no droning that I have noticed, doesn't impede approach/departure angles. I think it took me 15 minutes to swap it in, loved it ever since

After watching (and listening to) their video, I think that's the only one I'd consider if I were to find myself in need of a new exhaust. Actually seems quieter than stock, definitely deeper.

It's not an obnoxious "loud" but surely louder than stock. It has a nice deep, tone you can hear and actually enjoy. Not at all "raspy" or anything like that. Quiet vehicles make me nervous!

Quiet cars are definitely up to something. :sunglasses:

I say if you want quiet, get one of those golf cart inspired things they call EVs
Which reminds me, the only EV I’d own is exactly that. My personal golf cart as I spend my waning days in The Villages. Except I can’t tolerate humidity above about 30%, so that’s out, too.

I love the look but not the noise.

The Flowmax FX on a 1.5L does have a different tone than stock and seems a bit quieter which I like. I can't see the tip look in that video. I'll have to check on that.

I just came back from a custom muffler shop. I want to add tips. I prefer the straight out tip look but a no go with the stock muffler pipe angle unless I cut out part of the bumper cover or go with a performance exhaust set up. So I'm going with down facing tips and have a black chrome or black tip set on order .

I have the same muffler. After a year or so, it (at least to me) is not quite as loud from the inside, nor has it ever been. I'm not sure about outside though.
