Quiet mufflers?

Hey guys,
I was wanting to know what are the quietest mufflers you can buy for this car? Most people are into making their car real loud and low, but I want mine to have the high performance flow like any other, but a very very very quiet sound. What's out there?

Thanks
Randy

Flowmaster or DynoMax are good for performance and arrent too loud.

I bought a magnaflow and performance and noise are directly related. High performance, high noise...chambers and baffles are the best way to quiet down exhaust but they kill the flow. I was looking for the same thing. My Magnaflow is nice and quiet at idle a little rumble that sounds so good but at high rpms its loud.

I really liked the borla on my probe. It was quiet until I got to about 4K or higher. The resonater makes a big difference in the sound too.

i got a 22" resonator and it quiets it down quite abit even with my headers..

I got a cherry bomb in place of my cat & resonator. It's pretty quiet now & even got rid of the raspy noise from my Pacesetter headers.

My exhaust is loud too would it make much difference if I added another cat. converter at the back? I already have one at the front.

add another resonator not a cat. A cat restricts the flow & if you already have one there is no need for another. A glass pack would help do the same thing.

Yeah i would add a glasspack not another cat. i got mine from here http://store.summitracing.com/default.a ... wordSearch and thats the one i got. Dont know if it will fit yours or not you would have to get under your car and see what the longest one you could fit would be. Made a huge difference in how my flowmaster sounded.

That can mean either way depending on what your goal is. Awesome as in awesomely quiet or awesomely loud?

I checked under my car and there is a high flow cat and a resonator. It wont get any quieter? If I removed the resonator and put in a glass pack would that be better or the same? the sound doesnt bother me, its just deep and I work at 5am every morning and always wake up my neighbour and piss him off. I am using a falken carbon fiber style muffler, small and light. but noisy.
