[urq] Dang ol' noisy car - suggestions?

[Bob D]

When this happened to me, I went out and got a really cheesy spiral 
muffler and hose clamped it to the end of my exhaust. It looked like 
absolute dog crap, and worse than any grapefruit launcher honda ever 
could. But it worked, and thats all I cared about. I got home and 
promptly took it off.  I think it was like $15 anywhere online.
