Go to Crappy Tire and get the Dynamax muffler for your car.
ie.....when I bought the one that used to be on my old car (5th gen hb).....it cost $109+tax......it even came with the pipe to make it an axle back. (came with 'U" clamps too).
I think they cost around $120 now.
Cops never bothered me, because it was a factotry replacement performance muffler.
It has a lower tone than the stock one, and much nicer sound imo.
And when you romp on it, it has a really nice sound to it......not loud and anoying like some mufflers. Oh yeah, I think they also come with a lifetime warranty.
It's not as pretty as those shiny ones, but at least the cops will leave you alone.
(and it fit right the first time....no mods needed)

That site has a page sound clips for what it would sound like on different cars.........I haven't been there for a while, so I don't know if the sound clips still work.

There are a few different options depending on what you want.
I recently just purchased a Honda approved muffler for my car and will be welding an aftermarket tip to it. The muffler was purchased from a Honda dealer for less than $100, is direct bolt up and allows you to pick your own tip.
If you want to go the custom route I would suggest purchasing a Type R muffler from Japan. I saw one 2 weeks ago and it was stainless steel with a nice tip to it. This muffler would have to have the axle-back pipping custom made because of the difference in piping diameter.
Now if you were willing to spend a little bit more in $ then it would pay to be a member. I know that there is a DC Sport cat back exhaust for sale that they want to get rid of at an amazing price. This is great looking exhuast.
