Default Need quiet muffler for cheap!

I have a 97' Ex Sedan and the thing is damn loud with the setup I have now. Currently I have a DC 4-1 header, oem cat, custom 2.5" piping with cheap *** resonator, and a crappy
Tanabe Medallion style straight through muffler. It sounds okay under heavy throttle at high RPM's, but it is still too loud and sounds a bit tinny in normal driving conditions. What I would like to do is just get a cheap, quiet muffler for now(until I can afford a good cat-back) because most of my budget is being taken up by suspension/brake upgrades for AutoX. From what I have read, Megan Racing seems to have a fair product for cheap and the mufflers a relatively quiet. Does anyone have first-hand experience with some cheap mufflers that they have found to be QUIET w/a good tone. HELP would be greatly appreciated. Thanks (Sorry if this post is improper in any way, I have never posted anything on any forum b4.)

thats cheaper than cheap. It's free unless you were dumb enough to throw it out.

The current exhaust system went on about 4 years ago and the stock system has disappeared since then. I am pretty sure it went with my Blazer to the impound, never to be seen again. Now, by cheap I mean &lt;$100, so I do have some sort of a budget to work with. Something used would be fine so if anyone has a good quiet muffler for sale I may be interested.

I just put a Thrush turbo muffler on my CX daily driver and it is quiet and generally pretty free flowing. I needed a cheap fix and this was something like 18.99 and the stock replacment was about $50. The only thing I had to do to mount it was weld on the hanger from the stock muffler.
