I need to replace the muffler and tail pipe on my old Nissan truck. Is there a place to get cheap oem-style nonperformance replacements?

Auto Zone. I just replaced the muffler on my '93 GMC SOnoma for $32. Well it was a little more cuz I got some Clamps too.
Advance Autoparts had to order it and it would have been $80, I said no thanks and went next door to Autozone and they had it in stock for $30 + Tax.
My local Midas Muffler will sell me their parts straight up. They're a real piece of tin but they're cheap, light and they'll get you out of a jam.
I got a from the cat-to the tailpipe piece for my S10 from a little local yard
cost? $10 and I had to pull it myself.
looked brand new. piping, resonator, and muffler, hangers. everything
I havent looked lately, but the Meijer near me (Cincinnati Oh) had Cherry Bomb "Turbo"s (around 17-22", 2"inlet/outlet, center in/out) for around $20, but its been a while since I went there for automotive tomfoolery

Drove down to "Broadway Muffler" on my lunch break. I was impressed. $129 parts and labor for "oem-fit" and they can have it done by lunch tomorrow if I drop it off when they open.
At that price, its not worth firing up the welder. This is a utility vehicle and I get little enjoyment from working on it.
I was having nightmares of $300+. I was burned by crappy workmanship and high prices so much when I was younger, that I started doing everything on my cars myself, just so I didn't have to talk to people at shops.
12 years since I paid for anything other than tire service. Some automotive jobs just aren't enjoyable. Putting a muffler on a pickup truck is one of them. Hopefully I won't relearn why I stopped paying for work.
