thats the problem with these cars. you can’t run any sort of straight through muffler without it sounding like crap. I was hoping that with a 26 inch resonator and a high quality muffler from Apexi, that I’d get a nice sound out of it. clearly i was mistaken. i went through several different mufflers on my old exhaust setup, cuz i couldn’t find one that sounded just right. I had a magnaflow oval muffler and a borla turbo muffler and neither sounded good. I eventually ended up with a dynomax superturbo, which sounds similar to stock, but its chambered and it seemed like it hurt exhaust flow. As far as the megan racing setup, it actually sounds ok as just a catback setup, but when you add a header and high flow cat, it sounds absolutely terrible.

if you guys have any suggestions as to what straight through muffler will sound decent, please feel free to chime in.

All straight through’s will give off that snappy and for lack of a better word, “ricey” sound. Almost raspy. The only way to cure the sound would be Chambered Muffler (Flowmaster, MAC, Spintech, etc.). Those usually offer a smoother deeper tone, but don’t improve flow. While they don’t hurt flow over stock, they certainly don’t help it.
