im getting a scion xb idk which makes it sound better....would it sound the same on stick or auto?

''better'' is subjective. The muffler will give u that fast & furious fart can sound. The intake will give u some sound from the engine bay (which is where the go-fast sounds SHOULD be coming from). Both will add performance & probably a few MPGs. It would sound the same on an auto as on a manual, but the manual will give u a more ''crisp'' revving sound from the exhaust.
The real thing to worry about is performance. Forget how it sounds. If you're just looking for sound, slap on some pep boys muffler & call it quits. If you're looking for true street cred, avoid all the ''weapon r'' junk & TURBO SOUND MUFFLER. There is no substitute for quality performance products.

well, it depends on what kind of sound u want. do u want a richer, deeper tone or a lighter, not as deep tone? if u want a deeper tone, u can just get an axleback & put it on the car, but go on youtube first to see how it sounds. there r some pretty nice sounding exhausts out there that do not make ur car sound like a ricer.

i would say, however, that if u r just worried about the sound just get the exhaust. no matter which one u get, they will both sound exactly the same. however, there r myths about adding parts that will get u better gas mileage, this is not always true. the reason is, if there is an increase in hp, there will be a drop in mpg because the higher the hp, the more fuel a car must consume.

honestly, go to a scion xb forum & ask/look around. there r tons of people on that site that r very knowledgeable & can help u out. there r also vendors on there that sell aftermarket parts that may be cheaper than if u bought them elsewhere.
