Default Best sounding muffler for the new engine

Before anyone slams me about these being a waste of money and don't do anything for you, I'm simply wanting it to sound good.

I had a flowmaster 40 muffler on my old 2011 with the 3.8l. Sounded great, very beefy. And it cost me around 80 bucks installed.
I haven't seen many videos for the new engine

Anyone running just a muffler and getting good deep non Ricey sound out of it

Just my .02 but I have a Corsa dual exhaust on my 12 Jk and cut the resonator out welded a straight pipe in place and it sounds great! Love the sound I did gain a bit of mpg as well but I am also running a CiA from Airaid

Lots of videos on YouTube of Pentastars with exhausts. It will be hard to find an exhaust that doesn't sound ricey due to the configuration of this engine.

Love the sound of my Gibson with a vibrant ultra quiet resonator. Perfect combo

I just installed a flow master 40.

VERY deep at idle and rpm's under 3000.
Not sure yet because I haven't driven more than a mile so far and that was city driving under 45.
However I have a feeling that its gonna be ricey and im gonna have to swap to a 50 or 60 series.

Listen to some sound clips on you tube of the AFE Mach Force XP. Super deep sound with none of that raspiness like Gibson or others. I like Flowmaster but after having it on a number of my vehicles I'm kinda sick of the constant drone. Just type in different exhaust brands and pick what you like.

I am happy with my Dynomax Ultraflow. I had a drone when cruising between 30-40mph (was annoying), but once I removed the stock air box and installed the Banks Ram Air intake the drone was almost completly eliminated. This is with a 3.6
Happy with both products

I agree we don't have a V8 so you'll get alittle ricey sound, I have a BANKS & it sounds awesome for me
