Default new exhaust system

I just put a new pipe on my exhaust and took out the cat and resonator so my car is a bit loud. By a bit loud i mean acceleration is the equivelint of a bowing 747 taking off. Im looking for a muffler that will subsidize the loss of the res and cat and keep the noise level down because I dont want to draw attention to my POS rust bucket. Any suggestions?

the res was rusted through, thats why i took it out, im just looking to replace the muffler because its easier to get to and i dont have to do patch work to get something in line because it took about 2 hours just to get the pipe in

By deleting the cat converter and the resonator, you've severely cut down on the noise-cancelling part of your exhaust. Even if you put in a quiet muffler, lets say a WS2 or RS*R Exmag, its still gonna sound like crap. Uber-raspy and like a pissed off bee kind of crap. My suggestion is get a vibrant ultra-quiet resonator and then get a muffler. Or replace the straight pipe with a Megan resonated-test pipe. You've gotta have some sort of noise-cancelling in your exhaust system. That is unless don't like your hearing lol

Buy a magnaflow catalytic converter. Flow great and really tones down the weed wacker within.

cheapest way of making the car quiet and being legal.

Only way is to put back on cat and res. Even with a stock exhaust it will sound ricer.
