Looks like a standard muffler to me. The design looks like it would be quiet, but the picture doesnt mean it is good. It all depends on the length of the muffler in comparison with your engine. So there is really no good way to guess at how it will sound. However I am guessing it is just the same as every other muffler, only with a gimick

I would say that anything looks better than the original muffler!

But like the others, I wonder how it sounds.

Yeh like SmokingTires said, this type of muffler is usually employed by manufacturers because its the quietest design, and the most restrictive. the sound will also depend on how much insulation is packed into it.... personally i wouldnt waste my money. get a straight through design if you wanna change it, otherwise jus put some chrome tips on the ends and be done with it

Yea im just tryin to find a stock looking one that isnt harsh on the ears.

From the site:

"MagnaFlow XL 3 Chamber Mufflers use a unique combination of large diameter perforated tubing and strategically placed sound baffles to reduce unwanted resonance and help your engine create horsepower.

The sound baffles tune the sound waves using calibrated tuning gate openings that allow portions of the waves to pass through. These tuned waves reflect off the back wall of the muffler and cancel out unwanted harsher sounds.

The large diameter perforated core eliminates the flow restrictions of a louvered style core. A careful balance between perforation size/spacing and the baffle tuning gate make for a great 3 chamber performance muffler."
