rear muffler vs front muffler

[richardpalinkas]

hey people, i had a 2 1/2 sports exhaust installed (3.8L auto VX) a few months back, with no front muffler and a rear reso, and dont like the note, sounds too smooth and just not grunty enough. just wondering your thoughts on what sounds better for loudness and performance wise coz im thinking of getting the rear one removed and putting in a high flow front muffler instead.

asked an exhaust dude whats better, he said front muffler straight through sounds louder and better than a straight through to a rear muffler, but just wondering your opinions

yea i have seen a few, just want to know details on the difference between the front or rear muffler, like back preassure, power and loudness. havent seen many posts on what the diff is

go the front to a straight out the back, sounds a bit droney sometimes. but its louder and "grunty"
