I'm seeing the same ~$40 for the under-engine cover from Honda, so if you're determined to stay with factory parts, it's not a bad price.

On my HCH1 the muffler is just hangin' in the breeze back there, there's no cover. I'd be concerned about trapping heat near it so you might want to include some venting if you fab a cover.

Okay, I just looked at Honda's parts ordering facility on the website and it doesn't seem to show any kind of factory cover over the muffler at all, either. It's not a perfect system by any stretch but it is pretty inclusive - I was able to use this tool to determine what kind of SS bolts to buy to re-secure the CC heat shield, for instance.
