I picked up a pair of these, just havent had time to install... Im pretty sure I got the right size:
magnaflow 4" diameter, 4.5" length, 2.25 inlet. You can get them in 3.5" diameter as well...

there are plenty of after-market tips available, such as Borla, Magnaflow. The problem lies in the car's exhaust pipe itself, which has protrusions on the inner pipe, after you remove the outer finish. These protrusions will hinder the installation of the new tip. Installation requires cutting the old pipe off and soldering the new tip to the muffler itself.

I knew the tips needed to be welded; but I was hoping for a straight 2.25 outlet that could be cut down to about an inch. I ended up cutting the outlet on the tapered section and used 3 stainless rivits--instead of welding--to secure the tips in place. It's solid. I think it came out quite well and it only cost me $54 in the end
