GD1 looking for a new muffler and tip!

Hiya guys

Im wanting a new muffler for my Jazz (here in australia) its a GD1. I dont want to change the whole exhaust line as its too expensive (for now). I have a very tidy looking little car, nice wheels, dark red paint job, limo tint all around, brilliant focal utopia/ pioneer p99 sound system, all leather replacements inside, racing gear nob, custom dash mat, floor matts, chrome door plates, spoon wide rearview mirror, carbon eye lids, carbon wing mirrors (to come) etc, the one thing thats letting it down is the muffler and tip. Its the sad little down pipe. Im looking at universal mufflers, 2.5inch intake, to a 3inch tip (?) But how do i know which is better than the other? There are so many!! Ive heard that no matter what i choose it'll require slight custom work to fit it which is fine. So is it purely down to look? There seem to be a million on ebay. Im looking for something quiet, with a low tone, nothing loud or flashy, just something that looks (and is performance based!) nice for a nice looking car!!

any advice would be amazing, thanks guys

I can sell you my used HKS axle back for a good price. It's HKS high power. The end of it has been modified to fit my B pipe but an metal shop can mod it to fit what you need it for.

It's cocked to the right a little bit, very good look. Can do $120 plus shipping.

You're exhaust is defs on my list now! however, what do you reckon about these?? (the opinion of someone who knows what they're doing is always needed in my books!)

or

Universal 3" Dual Tip T 304 Stainless Steel Exhaust Resonator Muffler 2 5" Inlet | eBay

or

Im loving the N1, or the Megan M-VO, also the HKS (same as yours right??)....but are they decent for my car? i like the idea of the 2.5 and a smaller tip to keep noise down, which is also why the resonator is very appealing!! Help!! want to do this asap, but cant choose one

Guys he is in Australia so there is a possibility that parts from here won't Fit. And his is NOT a 1.5 Vtec so the pipe sizes may not be the same.

hiya, most muffler fitters can mate anything to anything. They'll make custom joints, welds, cuts etc For the gli gd1, 2.5 seems to be the money shot when it comes to tone and performance. (which is more to do with not loosing performance rather than adding, which this won't) 2.5 in, max 3 out, anything else will get tin canish (?). Im pretty sure I've got a 60mm pipe? Im wondering if any of these are suited better to a 4 cylinder, especially a 1.3? and because I dont have a chance to see them in person, what's the least cannon looking? I really want neat and tidy, just a good looking and sounding little tailpipe

I've narrowed it to the N1, the Megan or the HKS. Thoughts, or hands on exp? I do like the look of the Megan, but twin tips on a 1.3? may look a bit stupid
