I'm not sure where this should be..., Exhaust Question Options

[Bitter]

so, i took some exhaust damage when i was rear ended...today im droppin the old parts off to replace with junkyard items i'll get later this week.


well the rear muffler is off and i LOVE how it sounds! but its just too loud . what could i put back there to quiet it down but not loose the tone that it has now? i'd like to pretty much cut the noise level in half or more. performance wise it feels exactly the same as before, so that muffler isnt causing any restriction. i'd prefer to not chop up a center section, just something that a shop can flange to the stock piping and hang back there. also no fart canno 3" or larger exhaust tips please, its a geo for crying out loud!

summary:
no muffler sounds good, but is too loud. need something to dampen noise thats not ricey looking or sounding and is pretty cheap.
