Default need opinions on new exhaust

Hey guys, right now I'm running duals dumped at the back seats.. Three inch to two and a half with 28 inch long glasspacks.. I love the sound but its simply too loud at night and the interior vibrations are really starting to **** me off.. Everything viabrates. The reason I took off my catback was for weight savings and more flow.. So I need something to go out back that isn't going to add substantial weight.. I'm thinking of a three inch to four y pipe with an electric cutout back down to three inch with one of those stubby magnaflow bullets.. They should be light weight and over the axle with a sleeper dump.. Any suggestions?

thats the problem with the magnaflow catback, dont want to add another 50 pounds of weight, i think just that stubby muffler with the three inch pipe would be less, maybe 25-30.

reaper - would the LM2 muffler even quiet the car down much? given the cutout will be open 80-90% of the time, i just need the car quiet for night time.

ur car isn't going to be quiet at all with the cut out open, if the cut out is closed then yea the car will quiet down but it will still be somewhat loud with the lm2
