Question best muffler?

I have a 1995 BMW 318i and im looking for a muffler for it. Im new to the car world, being only 17 i dont have all that much experience as to whats crap and whats not, and not to mention much money either. Ive been looking at a weapon r cyborg, does anybody know anything about it and are there any better ones for a relatively cheap price. Thanks for your help

Most quality muffler/systems for BMWs (ie. Remus, Rogue Engineering, Supersprint, B&B) arent very cheap. If your looking for just a muffler, Id stay away from the canister style like the Weapon- R and go more for somthing like an oval style muffler with dual tips or somthing. Look into Magnaflow, and see what they have, they have all styles of mufflers and there fairly inexpensive....

1) Canister styles garner a lot of attention.
2) Canister styles are not typically found on European vehicles.

www.dtmpower.net might be of more help, although I'm sure others will chime in soon.

I like the dynomax ultra flow or super turbo, depending on your back pressure needs. They sound good, they are cheap, and you can make them look stock or clean (the piggly wigglies will leave you alone).
