So what if a company produced a muffler that was a universal product where everyone could put one on, still have the exhaust rumble, but without the drone. Basically be able to "tune" the muffler's sound to your liking. Would you buy it and better yet- how much would you pay? Most muffler sell between $35-$200 depending on the brand.
Good luck on getting a small high strung 4 cylinder to rumble

The idea is there but since it requires interchangeable or moveable parts they normally rattle or beginning rattling after a few weeks or months. The most effective tuneable mufflers have the replaceable tip/silencer at the outlet to restrict the flow.

As for sales, since we all know that's exactly what you're doing...you must have sound clips of differant mufflers/exhausts. Even though each engine is completely differant, and the sound actually has just as much to do with what's going in with the exhaust in front of the muffler as much as the muffler itself, it still gives the buyer a basic idea. Very few companies offer sound clips
