Take it to a muffler shop. It's very inexpensive.

If you had access to a lift and knew how to weld i'm assuming you wouldn't be asking this question, so therefore +1 to the poster above. They just cut it out and replace it with a straight pipe. Pain to do it yourself if you don't have access to the right tools, and cheap for a shop to do <$100 probably, maybe more if you want all SS piping and TIG welds

Get it done correctly, unless you have a welder and know how to weld. Like stated above. I removed mine for only $30 total, there is A LOT of cabin drone. Go buy the pipe from O'reillys or Autozone, about a 24" pipe 2 1/2" Then have a shop weld it. The pipe was $15 bucks and the guy welded it for another $15.

Nsteezy is right go to a shop and get it taken off and welded correctly. Also I would recommend getting a magna flow resonator, i kinda wish i did. Heres the link for one for your car
