I am doing a 1.5 auto to a 2.0 5-spd swap and it's time to start looking into available muffler options.
I will have a local shop set me up with a 2.5" and I want a muffler that is quiet, I spend 2 hr a day in the car.
What has been used in the past ?

I am considering either a:
Magnaflow 12258 http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAGNAFLOW-12258 ... 72&vxp=mtr

Flowmaster 525552 http://www.ebay.com/itm/FLOWMASTER-SUPE ... 4a&vxp=mtr

both are 2.5 in and dual 2.25 out, 5 x 8 or 5 x 10 oval shape with a 18" body and 23 oval length.

Let me know what you think, what you have used, or what can fit.

Get the longest glasspack inline with the pipe that goes inside the driveshaft tunnel, as far behind the drivers seat as possible, then run it the normal route with a standard muffler in the stock location. This should be pretty quiet with a little rasp when you get on it.

Hooker Aero Chamber muffer. I had a 3" In / 3" Out version of one of these on my turbo Mirage. It was an awesome sound and I had no problems driving it on the highway. I had 2 other friends go this route as well. Also, a DSM shop in VA that I used to help out at swears by this muffer, the owner runs it on his 600hp 1g and I believe has has since put one on his Colt. I highly recommend it.
