Default Exhaust needed - narrowed it down to 2 choices

I need a new muffler for my 1990 civic Si. I narrowed it down to 2 choices:
whats the cheaper choice ? I only need the muffler, not the entire cat back.

Tanabe touring medalion

We can get it, they no longer make it for the crx though. Just the Civic(same gen as crx), it needs a slight mod but it will work on the crx.

If your looking for just a muffler look at a magnaflow one. I had one on my crx a long time ago and the sound was nice and it lasted a long time.

If you will drive it only when its nice out, I love my HKS but their longevity sucks. One ontario winter and it's all rusted. nice stock-like sound though.
