least loud catback/muffler in your opinion? I'm going to daily drive the WS6 i just got for at least the summer. car has a built motor and headers/full exhaust. the catback is a stock catback but with a flowmaster muffler in it, not sure how many options there are for flowmaster mufflers that are two inlet and one outlet like that so not sure if there is a less noisy one compared to this one.
car is a bit loud for cold start ups at 7 am to leave for work. i could put a stock muffler in it since it has a cutout after the Y pipe but i wouldn't mind a bit of noise from the catback.
what would you do to quiet it down?
I wish they still made the dual/dual, that was the ****..

I had a magnaflow system put on my last z28 and when the shop fired it up inside the shop I couldnt even hear it running so I told them to switch it to a flowmaster b/c obviously I wanted it louder. My vote goes for magnaflow for just idle sound. I currently have Corsa and its only a little loud when you very first fire it up but once idling its super quiet and I deleted the cats and have pacesetter LT's and ORY but IMO corsa is pricey.

Don't forget it'll take a week or three to break in and be as loud as it's going to get. I have a full 3' hooker w/ lts and ORY. Even w/o the cats it's not loud execpt w0t. The hooker aerochamber muffler does a great job keeping the drone down and it sounds sexy as all hell

HOOKER, magnaflow, stock muffler
I loved my old Hooker catback with LT's - it is really smooth and deep and doesn't get wild or loud until you open her up. I think it is just slightly louder than the stock muffler yet the flow is outstanding.

quietest to loudest catbacks from my experience:
Stock
Stock SS
Dual Dual
2OTL
Magnaflow
Hooker
Corsa
B&B
LM1
Borla falls even with Magnaflow to the loudest, depending on your adjustment.
What headers you have affects it too. Corsa drops down a notch or two off stock manifolds.

Sean, I've tried almost every catback on the market. For what you're looking for i'd suggest the following.
Hooker Aerochamber - My personal fav
Magnaflow - Flows excellent, no drone while cruising
SLP Dual/Dual - The most quiet. still flows excellent for being a stock system
