Smile Muffler plan...a good idea?

I plan on putting a 6" Round Magnaflow muffler on my 07' 2.5i in place of the stock muffler. What r your opinions of this decision?

P.S. Plz don't start flaming about only getting a muffler, there are NO cat back exhaust applications for the 2.5i and the WRX/STi inderbodies are different from mine so they don't coincide. If I want a custom "full" exhaust done later when I have more money I can always use the muffler anyways. THNX

"Hey Y'all" our American buddy !

What is your objective - are you after sound or power - and do you mean just a drainpipe style backbox ? 6" might not look too cool !..............maybe stateside.

Magnaflow is what Chip Foose uses on Overhauling isn't it?

Prob along the lines of Powerflow and they don't have too good a rep

"2.5i"...it's the nonturbo...not WRX, not STI...go try to find a cat back for it I dare you...oh and by the way, the underbodies of the turbos ARE different form the Non...this was an advice thread, not an opportunity for you to feel like a hot-shot because your talking over the internet.
