quietest exhaust setup

hey guys, i'm too broke to buy a bolt-on exhaust system. the one i prefferably want is an R&D Thermal exhaust, since i've heard its the quitest. anyways, i took off my stainless steel headers since the flexpipe snapped and i'm putting back the oem ones. when i installed the stainless steel ones, i had to cut the stock exhaust back 3 inches. now i would have to lengthen it again, and i figure i might as well just put on a custom 2.5" one. i don't want a straight pipe cuz they sound like ass. my friend told me to get the 2.5" mandrel bent (which i planned on anyways) and ask for a 21" resonator. i don't want a jap grape-fruit launcher type muffler btw. but anyways, what setup do you recommend to keep it quiet but still make it better than the stock 1.75" one that comes installed.

Re: quietest exhaust setup

dont you think 2.5 inches is a little big? i'd go 2.25 or so, but if your doing a custom set-up what about a flowmaster muffler? Not loud at all and dont have a 5 inch coffee can tip.
