One of the baffles let go in my 4-year-old Dynomax Ultras. Since the car gets limited use, it stands to reason that the guts would deteriorate over time... I decided to check out some other more affordable offerings. I figure, if I'm gonna have to replace these things every few years, then I'd rather not spend large dollars. My criteria was appearance, sound, and affordability. I decided on a set of Thrush Turbos from Sumitt... part# 17718. They were $38 bucks a piece, and the shipping was something like 9 bucks. For less than the price of a new DynoMax, got a decent pair of mufflers delivered to my door. I like the sound, they look somewhat correct, & they were affordable (I'm avoiding the word "cheap"). There is definitely a different sound at idle. A little more volume - not obnoxious - and you can hear the cam better too... Overall, performance is the same. The main thing I like about them is they have almost no drone at cruise. The DynoMax Ultras not only had drone, but I would also occasionally get this slight burning "plastic" type of odor from the exhaust when I parked the car...
Overall, for the money, I recommend the Thrush Turbos for a driver. If these take a crap, I'm out low dollars...
