Straight pipe it. It will be cheap, loud, deep, and grumbly.

Drill holes in your exhaust. Use a 5/8 drill bit and make the thing look like swiss cheese. That should make you as cool as the mullet wearing dude in his 81 Trans Am with blown glass packs. Better yet just use a torch and cut it off. Who needs it, not like anyone in the trailer park sleeps at night.

If you straight piped it you would more than likely be out of compliance with noise laws.

Take it to a local muffler shop, have them throw a flowmaster on it, dont change the piping, just the muffler...Probably cost ya $100
