WTB: Quiet exhaust for 02 WRX wagon

My Tanabe Touring Medallion exhaust broke. For some reason, one of the hangers pulled loose and broke the pipe where it was welded to the pipe so now there is hole and a nasty leak.
Looking for something to replace the exhaust. I want something quiet, like another Tanabe touring Medallion, Greddy SP2, EVO2, APS 3", or maddad whisper.
PM me if you have a quiet exhaust for sale. Prefer not to spend more than $400. Thanks

Is it not repairable? If you're not sure, post a pic (or maybe start a new thread). My first thought was "I'll take your old one and fix it"!

Here is a pic. I guess maybe they can put something over the hole to cover it and then weld a new hanger from a different spot

Yeah, an exhaust shop should be able to fix you up. What part of CA are you in?

Cool. Thanks everyone.
I picked up a used Greddy EVO2 off of Craigslist for xxx today. Just installed it. So far it sounds about as loud as the Tanabe, maybe just a tad bit louder but not too bad. I actually think the Greddy sounds a bit better/deepr than the Tanabe
But anyway, I will take the pipe to the muffler shop and see what they can do.
