What to get instead of a coupe midpipe?

I have an 04 Sedan. I bought an HKS muffler to go with a coupe midpipe. If I wanted to get something else instead of a coupe midpipe, what product would be available ?

I rather just buy one more component to replace the coupe midpipe, but Im open to suggestions that involve buying more pieces while keeping in mind that they HAVE to work with the HKS muffler I already have. Thanks

A downpipe/test pipe replaces the cats. This is just a midpipe... the piece between the cat/s and muffler. Unless you get a complete aftermarket y-pipe back or cat back exhaust, there aren't too many options for the midpipe... 03-04 sedan midpipe, 05+ sedan midpipe, coupe midpipe, Z midpipe.

there was a seller on ebay, name was somethign like Zitek that sold the midpipes by themselves. they bolted up to the stock system so it should bolt up to the hks rear section. it will be more expensive than picking up a coupe midpipe though. i too tried to find an aftermarket midpipe with a smaller resonator than my oem sedan midpipe but larger than the coupe midpipe. you could do what homieg35 suggested but i would have them weld in a decent resonator.
