B-pipe and muffler questions

For starters I have been searching since about 11am today trying to find an answer to these questions, but I've been unsucessfull. So here I go.

I have a Budget Y-pipe and CarSound Cat to be installed soon on my 96. And I was thinking of doing the rest of the exhaust as well. But here is my problem. Because I live in Canada it would be ideal for me to get my B-pipe from Budget. On Budget's site though the B-pipe for the 95-96 is not ready yet. And I called and was told they are not ready yet. So I was thinking about just replacing my vey rusty stock muffler. Here is where it gets really confusing for me.

I want a muffler that can be installed on my stock B-pipe, but when the B-pipe from Budget is ready, I can install this muffler on the new B-pipe. Sorry if that was a bit confusing, but thanks for any help.

- Steve

PS. I really don't know too much about mufflers.

get a muffler with a 2.25 inlet - will fit on the stock bpipe perfectly.......... when you upgrade to a 2.5inch b pipe, the muffler shop can custom fit the muffler onto the new exhaust.

Get the HKS or stillen rear section (axle back), It bolts right
up to the factory B-pipe and will bolt right onto the Budget if it
is bent the same as the factory pipe.

I'm sorry but I am not familar with this 'rear section' thing. Could you explain it in a little more detail. What exactly does it include, is it a muffler and like half a b-pipe or something? Sorry for asking but I'll really curious.

rear section is just the muffler. beware, many people on here have said stillen is noisy. I've heard one and it's noisy. If you are going to get the b and muffler, have you thought about getting a catback? You can get it all at one time from one company.

The budget b-pipe replaces the stock piece, that is you can install it to the stock rear muffler section if you want. So, if you get a shop to fabricate a rear muffler section to the stock b-pipe, then get a b-pipe later it should fit right on. See what I'm sayin?
