Muffler delete
I was looking to do a muffler delete on my 06 s2000 not sure though alot if people said on here it will be ricey and just do a uk mod but i want something kind of loud i would also pair it up with a invidia test pipe. Im looking for loud but nithing crazy and alittle bit of raspy. I hate how the car makes no noise.

Just go with a larger uk mod pipe. I think you will be happy with that.
Whatever you do, don't delete tbe Helmholtz resonator. It doesn't really affect loudness, just eliminates drone.

What size uk mod would you prefer

A different intake like the ubiquitous K&N FIPK will give a pleasing intake "performance sound" and maybe add a pony or two (they claim 6 or 7). Easy to install and used units turn up here from time to time (but beware of missing parts).
If you want a performance increase -- vs just noise -- consider what a buddy and I did to both our cars: Berk 63mm high flow cat and Tanabe Medalion Dual Exhaust. Nice mature performance sound that won't make folks think you're still in high school and, since you have a 2006 car it can be Gernby FlashPro tuned to startling additional power in the mid-range. Revs so fast with this intake/exhaust and tune I added a rev alarm to prevent hammering the rev limiter all the time!
We first tried the Invidia Q300 exhaust. Required ear plugs. Really. The guys driving civics in the high school loved the Q300 but neither our wives nor neighbors appreciated that exhaust at all. Truly obnoxious. No muffler will brand you as an alfa-hotel.
The "UK" exhaust mod is probably best installed with the exhaust on the ground and is a guess as to what diameter bypass pipe to use. Too loud and you have to cut it out and try a smaller pipe in those big holes.
Regardless of what exhaust you contemplate try to hear it from inside another car. Some have horrible drone or are otherwise not pleasant (other than on the drive from home to the high school ).
Do some reading on exhaust diameters, etc. Slapping a big cat-delete pipe on the car can hurt performance.

I'm still surprised that no one on here has made a easily adjustable UK mod pipe. Use the same diameter pipe as the muffler(thats the largest you can use) Weld two small two or three bolt hole exhaust flange in the middle of the UK mod pipe. This way you can run a large washer(with the same size hole as the UK pipe) between the two exhaust flanges for the loudest UK mod or you can uae a washer with a smaller hole to tone it down. It would take 15 min. to go from a tame to angry exhaust note. Best of both, large(loud) to smaller(quieter).

Let me know what you guys think my best bett is money is alittle short right now. Thats why im not changing the exhaust fully. Thanks

Muffler delete is actually pretty nice. Three of my friends have had it. No rasp, just pure amplified UK mod sound.
