cheap replacement muffler

i need to replace my muffler but not too deep on my pockets, would the below universal be good enough and would i need to get add'l parts or generally the welding/muffler shop has them?

i can get a magnaflow #12158 for $70, what's your guys and gals opinion.

Get an econo job at a muffler shop, shouldn't cost too much. There are a lot of e30 enthusiasts running relatively cheap mufflers that are happy about them.

i link doesnt seem to work for me. but i have to say that $70 seems way cheap for an exhaust for a bimmer.

if the link did not work (it did for me) go to auto zone, and put part number #87707,hopefully u will see the muffler i am talking about.

there is a local guy selling that magnaflow muffler (it's the muffler only, will need to be welded), but he told me that the muffler is loud on it's own (since it's a free flow), i will need a resonator, with that i am looking at around 90-$100

Im running a universal muffler from a shop, they welded it on and bent the tailpipe, and made it look exactly like stock, it is perfect.

ran me about 140 bucks
