I was recently given an 88' Honda Civic DX (5 speed, 1.5L, ...). One of the few things wrong with it is a totally rusted muffler. I figure if I'm going to replace the muffler I might as well give fab'ing a custom cat back exhaust a shot! So my question is... what is the best type of muffler that is cheap and quiet. I want the cheapest, quietest muffler I can find. Any links to suppliers for mufflers and other exhaust parts (tubing ...)?

Also do you have any suggestions on what to make the intake out of (aluminum, pvc...). I am thinking pvc because its easily obtainable and easy to work with... also what type of filter? Should I just use some generic cone filter? (car is not k&n worthy! lol)

This car is just going to be a daily driver... I want it to be quiet and not have that trademark dying cat sound coming from the exhaust... Also im just doing the cold air intake to build up my skills before I do it for real on my real car!

Thanks in advance for the advice!
