Cheapest factory style mufflers?
My stock mufflers are pretty quiet, and I want somthing louder. The problem is, most mufflers are just the muffler with a little piece of pipe on either end. I want a muffler with the pipe that bends to the side that connects to the exhaust like the stock one does. All I have seen are mufflers that are like 100$+ EACH that fit like that.
Are there any cheaper, loud mufflers, that will fit onto the factory pipes without any welding or modification? Looking to spend less than 50$ per muffler.

You own a Corvette.....your not going to find something for $50. Unless you go to the junk yard and find something and cut them off and install them yourself.
Stock looking muffler for 84 with two working outlets that you can clamp on will be about $150 each or more.

My AP USA made mufflers cost $50 apiece at RockAuto. They drone a bit but also have a nice rumble and look stock. With the Y pipe the entire system cost $250.

Have the local muffler shop install a straight pipe in place of the muffler and it will sound like the C4 in the video.
Some advice: When asking a question here be sure to mention what year car you have as there were many changes over time.

I had a set of these on my '87 just to have something while I was working on it. I thought they had a horrible drone. I couldn't carry on a conversation with the person next to me at anything over idle. I ended-up plugging the inner pipe on both sides to get rid of it. Once the car was done, so were they.

OP has a 84 according to his personal info. Most Walkers will not fit without welding and cutting.
Here is the link to the walker that would fit.....as a direct replacement...

They are $69.00 each. So I stand corrected...you can find them cheaper that $150.00 That is the passengers side, the drivers side is $50.00...don't understand the logic on that one.
