Used C5 mufflers are so dirt cheap they're nearly free. Find one near you and pay like $3 and half a sandwich for it.

(Note: C5Z mufflers are better, but more expensive. $200-500 depending on cleanliness and phase of the moon.)

All the mufflers I’m finding online people want $250-300 which in the grand scheme is nothing but I’m trying all my options since I don’t have anything near me.

Post a "want" ad in the parts section. $250-300 is titanium prices. The standard steel ones are nearly worthless.

I trashed my steel ones. Would happily have recycled them if I thought anyone would want them.

Use this as an opportunity to get a used aftermarket one. Go Borla or Corsa, or just get a used stock one. I scrapped my stock mufflers at the steel scrap yard, so many already on Craigslist for $100.
