I really dont understand your question. Just go to an exhaust shop and they remove your muffler and install a new pipe to the tip, maybe even get a new tip while you are at it.
I wouldnt recommend it though, the inline 4 kinda sounds like shit

Both shops i've called have declined to do it, so i was wondering how to do it myself. Im also looking for a way to be able to swap between the muffler and the muffler delete, for my car to pass inspection in february

Maybe they decline to do it because they know how stupid of an idea it is... I also agree with them, don't do the muffler delete, it doesn't sound good on 4cyl cars. even on the 6cyl cars its borderline. Maybe a well designed intake might give you the sound it takes to makes you happy, It would be quiet most of the time but give you some engine noise when you get on it.

They decline to do it because its illegal, not because it "sounds bad". I used to have the sport exhaust and that sounded pretty good, but then it rusted off and i had to drive without a muffler on for a bit before it got fixed. It wasnt loud, just had that deep hum when i step on the gas that i liked.
