Which muffler for ETS 3" catback for CT9A??

Just wondering what the difference is between the Aero-Turbine and Vibrant mufflers used on the CT9A catback? Is it just a sound difference? Does one have a better long lasting build quality than the other? I'll be ordering this catback but I don't know what damn muffler to freaking order it with.

the aero turbine muffler is discontinued, so I don't think there is an option. Ive had the ets with the aero, and it does sound better then the new version.

We have actually located some Aero Turbine mufflers so I can do both.

Vibrant or Aero

Do the aero. I hate the vibrant muffler. I wanted an aero muffler but they didnt have any when I wanted one.

I stand corrected, Michael Is the man! Go for the Aero it makes for a beastly sounding exhaust.

Yup went with the Aero muffler. I hope I don't regret it! It looks like that company went under when I do some online searches for it. Waiting for this exhaust to hit my doorstep now.

Is it normal for the rear o2 sensor to be so low to the ground? I have to use one of those defoulers on my o2 sensor so it sticks out a bit but it never bothered me before 'cause my previous Megan and Works had the o2 come out at like 90 degree angle.

Otherwise this is the nicest sounding exhaust I've had on any car.

Here's a pic:

Is there any reasoning behind where the o2 bung is placed and why it was placed like that? Just wondering because I've never had issues like this with Works or Megan catbacks.

The o2 bung usually does not stick out that far. The reason for it because of the o2 spacer like you said above. We face it down so it does not vibrate in the tunnel. If you use a spacer I would highly recommend the j-bung.
