Need new exhaust/mufflers, and looking for options V70-XC70 1998

I just replaced this on my own 98 V70 R AWD this past week. There is a resonator on the driver's side and a muffler on the passenger side. Both of mine were leaking also.

First find a good reasonable exhaust shop. For $85, I had them remove the muffler, resonator, and center pipe, and just install a single muffler off the main pipe on the driver's side. Since this setup doesn't have a resonator, resonance is heard when driving, but not a huge issue. Not noisy at all, but noticeable.

This is probably your cheapest solution. My R bumper already had a cutout for the other side, but you might need to cut the bumper to make this work.
