This sound starting coming after I took off a silencer I had on my muffler which I kept on for about a month. Usually when I start to accelerate at a medium acceleration, I hear this annoying sound from my muffler, almost like it's choking. And it sounds pretty bad. I don't know if it's coming from my muffler, but there's a good chance that it is because I'm hearing it from that area of the car, and also, the pipes shouldn't really make that sound, right?
I'm thinking that my muffler might be a POS muffler. Do you think replacing it with a Megan or Ractive would do any better?

Get new piping? The N1 is a brute though....kinda in the ranks of the fartcans.
Try oval cans like Apexi WS2, etc.

No offense, but both of those mufflers are fartcans. As I said before....go with an oval can (more stock looking and much quieter but still gains in performance)

the increased back pressure from the silencer may have worn out the "batting" in the muffler more quickly. Those mufflers will work with a silencer but are designed for stand alone use so introducing other parts to them can make a difference... you could always try calling the manufacturer and asking them if it's normal.
