Regardless of what some people might say, I have never had good
experiences with
ANSA mufflers. Their quality is not the best as an after market /
upgrade
muffler (at least not for 2002s). I am only prejudiced because I have
had to
replace 3 center resonators on my 2002 because they broke at the welds
even WITH
the extra mount that comes off of the tranny area as proscribed by Ansa
/
Bavarian Motorsport. Everyone I have talked to says they are not the
greatest,
although they sound pretty good. As for a different brand of muffler,
I'll leave
that up to the more knowledgeable people here in the Forum.

Anywho, just my 02 sense....

Good luck!
Mark
