Default ES Tuning Muffler

Well to start this thread off a little history on my car..
I bought the car from a kind family that owned all hondas (6 total). The previous owner of my car was was a college student. She was involved in an accident. Someone rear-ended her. The trunk had some damaged but was repaired but the rear bumper was crushed and was also repaired. Everything was repaired when I purchased the vehicle.

The only problem was that the muffler tip was crushed. It was restricting the flow of exhaust gases escaping. I took a pipe cutter and simply cut a total of 4-5 inches of thetip. And the thing that annoys me is that every now and then I can get pulled over bc cops think I'm running no muffler.

I was thinking of getting an ES Tuning muffler just to replace my old muffler that you
can barely see.

Here's what I'm looking at:

I was thinking of just replacing the old muffler with this. It's 2.25. I'm not sure what
the stock piping diameter. I really don't want to go 2.25 piping because I don't want
to lose any low end on this car. What do you guys think? Stock piping with this
muffler or 2.25in piping + muffler?

*Yeah it's 4:37am. Sorry for any spelling or grammar errors.

you wont lose a noticable amount of low end just leave it be and if a cop pull's you over make his *** get on the ground and check your muffler it's not against the law to run no muffler tip and running no muffler could be heard from down the street so I would not worry to much about it

2.25 will lose you nothing. If u went up to 2.5" on the other hand, u would lose significant low-end power.
