Oh. Well, just source a stock exhaust and bolt it on. Depending on where you're located, Facebook Marketplace or S2KI marketplace usually has a few used stock exhausts for sale.
I would advise fully giving up on trying to make your aftermarket exhaust quiet. Like...don't even daydream about it because its not worth your time.
A stock exhaust is cheaper than the PhD you'd need to get, in order to make the aftermarket exhaust bearable.

Just realized there are two threads same title and first post.
Stock exhaust is going to be wisper quiet. One extreme to other. Solution is UK mod.
Welding in a bypass pipe to back of muffler.
uk mod
The diameter of bypass pipe is how loud it'll be. Entirely subjective. My way too loud is someone elses way too quiet.
But bypass pipe sizes are from 25mm to 44mm. 32mm & 38mm are the other typical choices.
This is why it works: (blue is normal flow, red is uk mod flow, some of the exhaust goes red, bypassing muffling parts of muffler, so it doesn't get muffled)

Best of luck finding an OEM exhaust. After storing mine in my shed for years it finally went on the curb on trash day 'cuz I couldn't even give it away. One piece so it needs a pickup truck to carry and shipping exceeds the value of the exhaust. AP1, AP2, and AP2CR exhausts are all different. They're all "cat back" and are quieter with the cat in place.
"UK exhaust mod" is hit and miss and it may take several cuts, welds, recut, and rewelds to find a sound you like. And i requires that elusive OEM exhaust as a starting point.
"Best exhaust" "best motor oil" and "best tires" threads compete for most-posts-per-day honors. With no consensus.
Just to save time I'll let ya know I've been running the Tanabe Medalion Touring exhaust behind a high flow cat, Royal Purple 5W-30 motor oil, and Bridgestone RE-71 RS tires (or earlier equivalents) for 10 years. And recommend all three. "Gentlemanly performance" exhaust.
