Calling all experts - unique muffler situation!
Just got a new fit last week and I need some advice.
My situation is unique since I live in Bermuda: our speed limit is 35 km/hr (but we drive at 50 km/hr) either way, our roads are curvy and narrow with very few long open roads (max is 1 mile I think).
Therefore, engine mods aren't really neccessary so we tend to lean more towards aesthetics, except for the exhaust. Can anyone suggest a good muffler that:
I'd appreciate you sharing your thoughts/experience!
(I'm not sure the exact model I have, it is a Honda Fit Sport but they come direct to Bermuda from Japan so some things are different from the US model)

- is not too big and bulky as to not touch the ground on speed bumps
- is not overkill on sound - I want to hear my car with a nice sound but I don't want to be heard from miles away (all bark no bite)
- Can be silenced somewhat in order to pass yearly inspections
- Is not too expensive and can hopefully be bolted right on
I'd appreciate you sharing your thoughts/experience!

Unless you slammed your car, I don't think I would worry too much about the exhaust scraping, as the rear of our cars are quite a bit higher than the front.
As for ehxuast... I heard the Aspec is pretty quiet and its one of the cheapest axlebacks too. If you want to spend a little more, get a Tanabe or a Tanabe Touring to be more specific. All Tanabe are advertised to be under 93db. Finally, for myself, I would love to have a Fujitsubo Wagolis or a RSR 621, but they don't come cheap at all!
