Default Muffler Help neeed.... any help appreciated!

Hey guys. Found this site using a google search and looks to be a great site! I just picked up a 2001 Porsche 911 in Miami on Saturday and drove it back to Charlotte NC. I have owned 4 Corvettes and didn't think I would be able to find a car that lived up to the standards the vettes had set. I must say though.. that i am loving the Porsche.
The one issue the car does have is the left muffler is making a horrible noise. I had it checked out at a local muffler shop today and they said the inside of the muffler was busted. They couldn't order a replacement as they said they didn't have any universal mufflers that would fit. I called Porsche and wasn't too happy with the $500 price tag for the muffler. I did some research and found some universal mufflers and or flowmasters that were around $100 a piece. It says they will fit my model 911 but the pictures of them look nothing like the stock muffler. They all have an inlet and outlet on opposing ends and from what i can tell the stock is nothing like that... . anyone had this issue before? Will a universal muffler with a different inlet and outlet etc, work ?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Look at the mufflers listed onPelican Parts& Performance, there a lots of different types depending on what you want from a muffler...I'm sure you find something that will fit your taste and budget.. Good Luck with the Porsche.
