Buying a Muffler

So I think I started a topic on this ages ago, but I'm ready to start looking now and I was curious where you guys suggest buying a muffler?

I'm looking for something that's going to give the car a nice deep tone / grumble.

What's the average price range?

companies and brands don't mean too much to me since I know..nothing about them haha. I just want something that sounds good. As far as functionality, it probably works better than stock so that's no concern.

Do I have to worry about having other pieces or can I just buy the muffler and have someone install it without issues?

nope! it doesn't. its a good thing too. that way you get a better fit when your guy welds in the tip. i had to have my stock one chopped on my car and rewelded to make it look good.
