Okay, time for me to be dumb again. The short part of this story is that the last guy to own my car screwed up just about everything possible before he gave it to me. Every time I try to do anything, I find something else he @#$%ed up. In conclusion, I have to get a new muffler before I put my rear bumper on.

Next: I want quiet. Most people say "oh this one isn't too bad...". Well, I don't want 'not too bad', I want a nice, low, quiet muffler. If I can't get a quiet aftermarket muffler, I'll buy a stock one. But I don't want to do that.
Anyway, if anyone is tired of answering this question, just flip me off and I'll go back to sleep. But any suggestions would be most welcome.
