Can anyone recommend a quiet muffler
I am running a RB header to straight pipe with one muffler on it. unknown brand. can anyone tell me a muffler that is deep in tone, quiet and also what fits best (round or oval)? any advice is appreciated.

The RB system has only two downsides:
Heavy weight
Expensive Cost...$900 for full system... header... pre-silencers... muffler..

I know that RB makes a great muffler. my setup is way to loud right now. and i want it to sound a little more mature. I have the RB header and like i said i don't know what muffler is on it now. I have heard that Magnaflow makes a quiet deep muffler. are you guys running an oval or round style and which seems to fit better?

the car fits an 8" round can, which the RB and mazda race muffers are, but the biggest magnaflow is only 7".
so for a magnaflow, oval actually offers a bigger muffler.

That was with a RB street header+RB presilencer+magnaflow straight thru+Borla XR-1 and 2.5 piping. The whole system was straight thru, but you could make it a lot quieter without going straight thru. I loved, and miss my Borla.

Racing Beat is the clear choice in this matter. their exhaust components are of excelent quality, flow well, and offer excellent sound. you will need a presilencer..or two stacked together as in the RB SP exhaust in conjunction with a RB (or any) muffler.
a buddy of mine has a RB header, two magnflow bullet syle mufflers side by side to act as presilencers and an oval borla muffler. the car still sounds good..but is deafeningly loud...

Another on the bandwagon for the RB system.
I've run the RB muffler both ways; with the RB header and presilencer, and with the stock manifold & heat exchanger. Both sound very good.
I get teased a lot at the meets that nobody can tell when my car's idling.

I'll take this all into consideration. I like the look and idea of an 8" round i believe mine is an oval now, will have to look again. are the RB mufflers labled with their brand right on them? what does the tip look like? i don't want to accidentally rip off the good muffler and find out all i needed was a silencer. and if i did not mention it before the car is streetported. Idling it sounds like a Pig grunting. very loudly.

OK... here is my thoughts again.... I have friends who have tried to save money by building their own exhaust because they thought they could save money.... After blowing out mufflers and "rigging" things, they ended up being right at the amount if they would have bought the RB system.
I got caught in the "trap" trying to reinvent the wheel. I thought I could build my own system and do better.... I was wrong!!! Not only was the RB system quieter, it lasts and best of all the TORQUE the system makes is un-matched!!!
Here is proof in the pudding!!!!

Video with my home made exhaust system with RB header with Borla Stainless muffler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIyeyU55O2Q
Both these runs are with the same engine, same carb, same CAR..... What do you want your car to sound like???
