Rotaflow muffler alternative?

Anyone know where I can find a muffler similar to this one at a cheaper price?

got a welder? make it yourself. that tip is just a couple angle sliced pieces of tip welded together. i did it a while back, but am using something different now. if you are looking for the same "quality" muffler then i wouldnt cop out.

Magnaflow is very similar to those. They last a long time too as they are all stainless steel, even the packing. I've found that magnaflow mufflers are pretty much the quietest straight through mufflers you can get.

That ebay muffler is pretty similar. That last time I bought a muffler off ebay it had a crack going all the way through the core. So I sold it to this eclipse dude for $10 more than I bought it for!
FB II- You know what would look cool? If I bought a oval muffler and welded a curved tip on it. Do you think a muffler shop would do it?
