go get an exhaust cut out. you can take the cap off and be loud, and put it back on an be quite. it should cost around 60-80 dollars total.

The cutout goes after the cat. I had mine put right before the exhaust starts to bend over the axle. I haven't had any issues with inspections because before I take it in, I put the cap back on and it quiets down quite a bit. Hope this helps.

cutout in the I pipe, just under the passenger seat before the axle. You should be fine with emissions as long as you cap up the cut out before you go.

Cheapest way would be to just cut off the muffler

But really, like what everyone else said, just get yourself a cut-out.
