Okay, so here’s the deal.

This is the absolute last part in the wonderful journey it has been to get my stupid 240 road worthy. I just took it in for an inspection, and holy crap, it barely needs anything! Yes! Ordered a ball joint today, needs a wheel alignment, and a new muffler, because the old one has about ten holes rusted through on the bottom. I need some advice on what kind of muffler to get…

Requirements:  
i. I’d prefer if it would be easily available to I could get it running ASAP.  
ii. I’d really prefer not to have a stock muffler, IMO the two skinny tips look super gay  
iii. I don’t want a super big rice pipe, this car is stock in every other way, that would just look retarded.  
I’d prefer something like this

or this  
 ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/360000-360999/360169_43_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/360000-360999/360169_43_full.jpg)  
(That’s my exact car BTW, except I have a spoiler for mad downforce… :roll:)  
not like this  
 ![http://www.turboimport.com/catalog/parts_images/rsr_240sx.jpg](http://www.turboimport.com/catalog/parts_images/rsr_240sx.jpg)  
iv. I’d prefer if this thing would somehow bolt on relatively easily to the exhaust. (It’s like a 90 degree right hand bend and then bolts on)

Any tips, suggestions, I’m prob not gonna be keeping this car for too long, but I don’t see the point in buying an OEM muffler for like 150, when I can get a decent aftermarket one for the same money. I’d prefer to not take it into a muffler shop, that’s why I want a muffler that bolts on easily…

Edit: BTW remeber this has to pass a safety inspection, so it can’t be super loud!

For the record loudness has nothing to do with safety. My car was loud as fuck with it goes safetied and even e tested.

Um, not necessarily easily availble, there are lots of performance shops around here, and lots of muffler shops too…

I have a stock S13 one you can have for free if you want. Was just going to throw it out.
