Default Exhaust help

Hello, I have a couple questions regarding the exhaust system. I was looking to simply unbolt my mufflers and take them off and replace them with the same diameter piping with some bigger tips on the end. I don't wanna spend hundreds of dollar's doing this as I know how expensive exhaust work can be. The mufflers don't have to be chopped off and can be unbolted at the cat.

Any suggestions on what type of piping I should use and tips? I don't care about the tips being some brand name I just need them to look good and fit with the look of the car. Just need some suggestions on where to go from here.

Look up Speed Academy on YouTube. They have an episode about this exact scenario.

If you're going to use stainless it's going to cost you hundreds of dollars. If you don't it will rust out. I'd speak to the shop that is going to be doing the fabrication for you unless you intend to handle this all yourself.
