exhaust help needed

1993 Honda Civic si 1.6l in-line4 dohc vtec

I am in need of a new exhaust system ASAP. I have holes in mine and keep getting hassled by local police about the noise.

Need something that is pretty quiet. I need your suggestions, my knowledge about cars is limited...

No scrap yards to be found around here...
Seems to me that exhaust systems are dependent upon the type of engine in one's car, but exhaust systems are sold based on the model of the car. So I am reluctant to go searching/shopping around lest I make a mistake and end up with something I can't use. So I figured I'd just come to this forum and let someone with knowledge on the issue tell me what to do.

Re: exhaust help needed

I went to another local mechanic (the first one refused to work on it), he put on a stock muffler and did some other work. The car is like totally silent now. I've definitely lost a few HP but ya gotta do what ya gotta do to avoid getting tickets by my local cops. Thanks for the help serrillion
