my 944 is TOO LOUD!!!

hey...
I bought this car (1988 944 NA) a few weeks ago and have been having fun with it. a couple issues here and there, but overall, seems pretty solid. the thing i hate the most about it, though, is the exhaust. it's so freakin' loud. not sure what kind it is, i think it's some sort of stright pipe/glass pack, something or other. what i do know, is that' it's brand new. new Cat converter, and new stainless pipes all the way to the new (loud) muffler. The pipes are 3" in and out of the muffler. I want to swap the muffler for something else that's quieter. But I don't think the OEM 944 muffler is 3". Plus its like $250 or more, and I don't want to spend that kind of money. Will any muffler do that's 3" in and out? Or if I find a used cheaper 944 muffler that's 2.5" (or whatever it is), can I just get adapters, or will that create back presure issues.
Any cheap, low cost suggestions to get my car quieter will be greatly appreciated. Here's a pic of the current setup...
