New 2001 AE muffler?

Is there a website I can purchase a new AE muffler? Every site I've checked stocks mufflers for other models, but not the AE. I know the other models should fit but I'd like to replace with OE.

I was hoping to save some $ with the walker quiet flow SS, no dice. It makes a really low pitch drone that can be heard through my stereo. I even applied sound deadener to the trunk and chrome tips, still annoying. I've narrowed it down to the muffler because the sound began when I switched out my original rusty resonator and muffler with this thing.

I've seen the AE muffler pop up on ebay, but is there any where else I might look?

OK, does anybody know why the AE muffler (part 20100-3Y380) is more expensive than others (20100-3Y370) if they are the same? Seems odd considering the AE does not include a chrome tip and the others do?

I did not know it was a difference in pricing, but I know mine looks like an attachment from a vacuum cleaner, LOL. I remember at first, it looks weird, but now I am used to it, but I like to get it removed and put dual tips. I would just get whatever muffler and buy the tips and put it on yourself instead of the OEM Tip

Are you guys talking about the muffler that opens up to straight through when it
gets more back pressure?

So to get it straight what cars is it on? I've seen some of these thread pop up recently so..
