The muffler says beluga racing however it looks just like the rest of the ebay muffs and it was $255 free shipping. It was a direct replacement and reused the stock clamps. It bolted up ok and is driveable, however the tips arent centered. Im going to have to take a bar to em. They dont hang out past the bumper anymore than the stock tip did.

The sound is much more aggressive than stock however is still quite tame. It definitly growls. I think it has what you all call "drone" a deep somewhat vibration growl at around 2500 rpms, however its not unbarable and i typically dont drive much at that speed.
Looks just like the one I installed from Top Speed?? Way better pricing though. lol. I had to tweak mine a bit to center it as well. I think the "drone" is nothing big and will probably settle out once I've ran it for a while. Gotta break them in a bit to get their true resonance. I believe that all mufflers are this way.
