    Here’s a review for the **Thrush Muffler Deep Performance Tone Inlet 2.5" Pipe Connection Offset Outlet**:

    ---

    **Great Performance and Sound for an Affordable Price**

    I recently installed the **Thrush Muffler Deep Performance Tone** with a 2.5" inlet and offset outlet on my vehicle, and I’m extremely happy with the results. If you’re looking for a deep, aggressive tone without breaking the bank, this muffler is an excellent choice.

    The installation was smooth—this muffler fit perfectly with my exhaust system, and the 2.5" pipe connection was a direct match. While it’s a straightforward swap for most vehicles, I’d recommend a professional installation if you’re not comfortable with exhaust work. Once installed, I immediately noticed the difference in sound. The deep, throaty growl it produces is exactly what I was looking for. It’s loud enough to make a statement, but it doesn’t get obnoxious or drone on during highway driving.

    In terms of performance, the muffler seems to improve the exhaust flow, which in turn gives my vehicle a more responsive feel. Acceleration feels smoother, and it definitely has a bit more power under the hood. Although I didn’t see massive horsepower gains, the overall improvement in sound and driving experience has been well worth it.

    One of the best things about this muffler is the value—it offers excellent performance and sound for a very reasonable price. It’s durable and built to last, with high-quality materials that feel sturdy and reliable.

    If you’re on a budget but still want a muffler that enhances both sound and performance, the **Thrush Muffler Deep Performance Tone** is a great choice. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their exhaust system without going for the high-end, expensive options.

    I bought this to replace my Flowmaster 40 series muffler on my V6 Ford Probe, which was way too loud. I took a chance that the Thrush Turbo would be of crappy build, not quiet enough, or wouldn't fit. With the amazing price, and good reviews, I decided to go with it. Here are the results:

    Build quality: I was pleasantly surprised to see that this muffler is very sturdy. It's heavy for its size, but not so heavy that it adds unnecessary weight to your vehicle (if that's a concern of yours). It's an aluminum muffler, which supposedly may not last as long as a stainless steel muffler, but, IMO, the advantage of SS is overrated. And for $20-$30 replacement cost, who cares.

    Versatility: The size of the muffler was way smaller than anything else I've seen, which means it will fit in a variety of applications, and removes some of the stress about installing it. I was able to get this muffler put on for under $50 at my local shop. My understanding is that it is reversible, meaning you can install it to flow in either direction. Furthermore, it's a nice open muffler with reduced back pressure over your typical stock setup, which is a nice little bonus, especially if you actually have a turbo (I don't).

    Sound: I was in love with it from the moment I started the car. At idle, it's got the low, mellow tone of what I would describe as a typical stock V8. Very smooth with no midrange or high end tone. During normal driving (1K to 3K RPM), the tone remains very mellow, even if you goose the throttle a little. It's perfectly acceptable to cruise through the neighborhood without the least bit of discomfort. If you jump on it and do an accel run, the thing comes alive. There is a minor rasp around 4K, but it's barely noticeable, and it's quickly supplanted by a sporty, yet refined timbre all the way to the top. That being said, it's still far from the loud aggression that will draw the attention of the cops as you drive by them (trust me, I know where that threshold is all too well).

    Overall, this muffler seems to me the best of many worlds, and is the best combination of build quality/sound/price/ease of installation that I have seen. It will probably be my go-to muffler for all of my cars from now on - even my wife's car. She doesn't care about tone or performance, but if she needed a new one, this is so cheap and versatile that it doesn't make sense to look at anything else (an OEM muffler would certainly be more).

    So I was looking for a cheap muffler to make my skid steer quieter, and I should have done more research. Even though I am only running a 13 hp predator engine on my skid steer this only quieted the exhaust noise by about 5 db and changed the sound a little so it sounds like the '75 Camaro that I had in high school instead of a riding lawn mower. Interesting but not what I was going for. I was looking for 95 carolla.

    My stock 15 year old muffler was rusting out from the inside. So I went with Thrush turbo because I'm an 80's baby and I like the classic rumble of muscle cars. Not a fan of Loud annoying exhaust.

    With the right sized exhaust clamps you don't have to take your vehicle to the muffler/exhaust shop. Just fix it in your yard the way we used to do it.

    I have gotten more compliments on the sound of this truck than I can count!

    I bought this to use on a 2004 Toyota Tacoma V6. Mine came in perfect shape. It is a bit shorter and a bit wider than the stock muffler that was on my truck. The height is about the same. I replaced all the pipe from the catalytic converter (downstream) back and I did the work so the inlet and outlet locations weren't very crucial in my case. One thing to note is that you will need to make or buy hanger rods and weld them on wherever needed as there are none on the muffler. The sound is good. Deeper than stock but not loud at all. The main reason I purchased this muffler is because it was a good price and I've had multiple Thrush mufflers in the past that were all quality made products that lasted years. I have no doubt that this one will be the same

    This is my first time dealing with a Thrush muffler. Great price. Delivered on time. Sounds good. Better than the OEM muffler that was very quiet. Nice rumble at idle but not too loud. Very happy with it. Left the tailpipe off and put a turndown tip on it. Sound like a proper truck now.
