Default Need a new muffler help a bro out

What's up guys, the flange come from my muffler to the rest of the exhaust piping completely rusted off on the muffler side. Looking for some relatively inexpensive thoughts. I love the sound of my VQ. I really can't see spend 250+ on a used stock muffler off eBay when I can go with (I know mixed thoughts) an HKS replica but I'm not a huge fan of the sound of the real HKS. I don't want my car to sound ricey at the price of min gains. I found a "stock" muffler on parts geek.com for 108$ this seems to good to be true and I've read some crappy reviews about that company. Has anyone used them? Do you think an exhaust shop can just weld a new flange onto my old muffler at a decent price? The only exhaust in really crazy about is the s-tune, and borla but I'm looking at a pretty penny which I don't have. Other option is going with an HKS replica and magna flow x-pipe muffler to kill the rasp and drone. The system is under 300$ think the xpipe is around 130 then have to get it welded on sure that's gonna be another 80$. As you see I'm all over the place. Any thoughts? I gotta do something quick bc my imspection is up come may. Thanks in advance

It's a site for junkyards all over the nation. I'm sure one close to you has a muffler for cheaper than other places.

You can probably find a used OEM one in this forum for a minimal price or check local Z clubs in your area. A local exhaust shop can do quite a few things including replacing and welding a severely corroded part.

I have a used OEM muffler that's been sitting in my garage for years. Too heavy to ship, IMO.

I'm in Westchester, about 10 minutes north of the Bronx so depending on where you are in Long Island fairly close.

I am selling my HR midpipe and muffler for $125, here is the thread.
