Here's my 2 cents, you don't need a full catback exhaust system to sound good. I have a custom made muffler with 2.5" piping and the sound is orgasmic: a very deep and aggressive sound without any rasp/rice. It's with a silencer so when I go over 3000 rpm or accelerate slowly, there's no sound at all, which keeps the cops away. I'm really happy with it and I paid like 120$ for the muffler + the welding job.

so what you're sayin is you want a raspy, rice sounded exhaust? Why don't you just be cheap and put a cherry bomb on it or something cuz to me it sounds like you don't want to spend the money on quality

The greddy is discontinued. Are you looking for a full system or a bolt on muffler?

Here is what you want to do get a universal muffler any type will work. Get 2.5 inch so you can upgrade the rest later. Get a single 90 degree bend and a 2.5 inch flange then weld the flange to the pipe and then to the muffler. Or take the flange and the muffler to an exhaust shop and have them make the pipe. Personally I like stainless but I have to deal with road salt. I also like borla mufflers but Dynomax super turbos are a great low cost nice sounding muffler. Now just pick out your tip and you are good to go.

Here is a low cost muffler that should work
