Donmega,
I know that you'll like the sound of a Cherry Bomb Turbo muffler, Canadian Tire special (I think they are on special this week, started Saturday). Muffler should run you reg. $40 CAN, and the accessories like clamps (or weld), and muffler cement, a couple of hangers if yours are really reuseable (without a little creativity), and upsize adapters should run another 20-30$, so not that much really.
As for the sound, you won't know that your car is really idling other than a little noise from the tail pipe and the sounds from the engine bay, but when you get into the power you get a little woosh as the power sort of hits it high gear past 3000 and the motor really startes to hum/zoom. I imagine that you will get even more noise with the hack can and restrictor removal, but it will sound a lot meaner that it did. Just don't let you're newly installed muffler hang down like so many other honduh installs.
For that stealthy look, I painted the muffler flat black right up over the axle and onto/into the tailpipe end because this is where most of the rust will start.
Hope this is food for thought, sounds like you'll have an easier time of it now that it isn't -10 outside!
