The cheapest way is to buy your own muffler(s) and have a shop do the piping.

so i can just buy any kind of flowmaster muffler and the muffler shop can do the rest? i know flowmaster is cheap but this is only my winter car(i spend all my money on my other car) so just i dont wanna go broke over this one.. but would i need to buy the pipe or can the muffler shop get ahold of one u think?

Reminds me of.... my truck!! 9, thats right, nine, exhaust clamps. Woo hoo!!
And the answer is, yes, one day I will do a real fix on the exhaust. I'm closing on my new-to-me house, than gotta get a lawn mower, than I can get stuff for the shop (air compressor and welder are the first things!) Than I'll get the piping and fix the exhaust.
I can't wait to get my truck back...
