I figured as much. Maybe I should just yelp metal fab shops? or checking with the local muffler shop may be good idea?

Covering the exit hole on one side won't help much with that (but I understand the aesthetic benefits). For me it's one of those things where, if I can't afford to go all the way (remove stock muffler, add underbody diffuser/modify rear bumper to correct the aero issue that results), better to stay stock.
Eh. I need sound. Lol. This is temporary for me as I just couldn't pass on the price. I'm going to go either Nameless of possibly FT86Speedfactory in the end. Plus I'm waiting the street version of the driveway labs diffuser myself.

Beyond that this car isn't about extracting the most out of it for me right now (or in the near future either). Just what I want aesthetically with something fun to drive. Maybe eventually I will get more serious, but not while it's my only DD.
