KY help cat back exhaust too loud

I just purchased an 05 rx8 with a modified exhaust. The sound might have pleased the previous owner but, it is not my favorite. Is there a cheap way to silence the sound, or should I just purchase another cat back that sounds better to me?

Does your car happen to have a check engine light and/or smell very strongly of gas like an old lawnmower?

no it looks and drives new, but has an annoying exhaust tune. If I turn up the radio its not too bad but I would rather have the oem cat back than what is on it now. However that will set me back 900 and my wife would not be pleased.

I have a stock system I would be willing to get rid of. Take pics of your exhaust so we can see what it is?
