Exhaust/Muffler

Hey guys. I have a 07 Camry LE (I4). I wanted to get a nice sound going for the car. Something like a G35 or like some Ferrari sound, not a Civic fart-can:P. I heard that I would have to replace the whole exhaust system to get some nice sounds, but after researching on the forum, I think I can just change the muffler and still get what I am looking for? I don't want something too loud, since it is still like a family car and I dont want something too pricey.
During my research I also saw people recommending to do the resonator delete. Im just wondering what that is and would I need to do it? So any suggestions/advice?
Thanks TN

Get a vibrant muffler on ebay for about 120 shipped. They sound low and non-rice for the most part. Do that first, you can always do a resonator delete later if it's not loud enough, thought on i4's, it gets ricey without the res.

Res delete + magnaflow universal:

Vibrant and no res delete.

Vibrant sounds nice. Magnaflow is cost friendly. It all depends. Other brands: Megan, HKS, Flowmaster.. search around.

Good luck!

Flowmaster 50-series Delta Flow might sound good. Not too loud, deep sound. Going to look into this.

thanks 11LE for the clips
the vibrant with no res delete seems a little too loud and low-sounding
the magnaflow with res delete sounds a little too quiet
i guess i wont be able to tell properly until I hear them in person
GT-R do you have any clips?

I have a 2011 SE is there any point of getting two vibrant mufflers or should I spend a little more and get something else? ( I really like the vibrant sound)

Are you sure BlackCam09? I swear I remember the part number for the Vibrant being 1146. I dont know if its the same thing.
Whats the difference?

Hey Bossmaan, since your planning to get the Borla system installed, do you know any places in Toronto that are good with exhaust/mufflers and not too expensive at the same time?

from all the places I called GT Custom Exhaust in pickering seems pretty decent with their pricing..the person there seemed more willing to work out a price and go over the details as opposed to the other shops i called

a full cat-back system will definitely sound better than just a muffler, i had the megan racing oe system at one point, sounded very very nice. Since going over to coilovers, i had to sell it because the mid-pipe would scrape, shame. Now i just have a magnaflow muffler welded on. It still sounds a little ricey on the 4cylinder imo when you accelerate and at certain rpms with a un-warmed engine, definitely nowhere near what the g35 sounds like
