Default ***Help Needed right now****

Hey guys, I am getting ready to install some long tubes and ory into the current loudmouth bullet style muffler. I have heard it is going to be way too loud and raspy, sooooo..... I am looking for a 3" bullet style muffler that will weld right in place of the loudmouth and be as quiet as a bullet muffler can be. Someone suggest buying the Borla XR1 bullet, but its pretty expensive. Someone also said to get a dynomax bullet, but it appears that is still going to be pretty loud. I have an E-cutout, so when I want it loud, it's right at my fingertips. But, for everyday driving, I want the quietest bullet possible for a good price. Do any other company's make a considerably quiet bullet muffler that will weld right in place of my current loudmouth setup? Maybe magnaflow? Or does anyone have a used borla XR1 for sale that will work with my setup? I am getting this all done on thur. march 6th, so I need to know something tonight, so I can have it here by thursday! here is a pic for reference.

magnaflow and dynomax do. But why not just do it, and if its not what you like just replace the bullet. Its not the hard to do. I would go with the magnaflow bullet. I dont know the part number but it turns into a Magnamouth once you put in on your LM.

no matter how u do it it's still gonna be a loud ****. I have LTs, hi flow cats and 3 bullet mufflers (1 18" intermediate pipe and 2 12" after the axle on each side with dumps tucked up nice) with a 228R cam...it's loud but sounds very nice. I get compliments all the time and I'd say half of them are mustang guys who say "that's the first F-Body exhaust I've heard I actually like". don't plan on sneaking around at night with it, everyone will hear u coming.
