Default muffler options
I want to get a muffler to improve the appearance of my car. I like the autocouture muffler, is there anything else like that a little cheaper? I don't want the muffler to make my car louder and it don't want a hug tip import muffler either. Any suggestions?

Why not go wtih an OEM or OEM style muffler & get a chrome exhaust tip for it? Check out autobarn, pep boys, autozone if you want something less expensive.

I like the look of the magnaflow mirror finish oval muffler(14829) but just like everything i've seen so far it adds a deep tone. Is there anything out there that is quiet but has a chrome muffler and tip? I hate how my stock muffler looks especially now with my new taillights.

pretty much.. it has a very subtle look to it.. the apexi world sport 2 catback is also very quiet, but it has the luxury/sporty look to it

Apex World Sport for the Camry/Solara will fit your vehicle. It's a catback for the MCV20 chassis. Anything chassis wise from the MCV20 Camry/Solara will work on your ES. No there is no way to put an IS300 exhaust on your car. Different pipe routing.
