Default Exhaust leak from hell

Well, i have a nice szied pre-cat exhaust leak. So I now sound like a i have a civic with 6" exhaust piping and a coffee can muffler. I think i'm going to run a test pipe and use an apexi n1 muffler with a silencer. Has anyone else used mufflers with silencers?

Sorry I can't help with your question, but aren't you embarrassed to drive the car? I had a bad exhaust leak in a car once and I didn't even want to drive it, everyone would think you've got a big ricer exhaust. Especially since my car at the time was a Civic.

Yea, i'll have a temporary fix until the new stuff comes in. It's gotten progressively louder over the past week -- i cant stand it.
