Default Which mufflers for CME?

Here's my story. It's been a long time since I posted inthe external section here and I haven't kept up with the latestin bolt ons. I sold my old TSP true dual/sweetthunder/CME when I retired the car from daily driver status. It now has custom duals/Xpipe/boomtubes out both sides (think nascar) Sounds friggin' amazing BUT I sold my truck and until I buy another daily the Camaro needs a more tame exhaust.

Camaro: 2001 Z28 Cam only/full bolt on car. (TRex) The longtubes are QTP's with the high volume merge collector. I'm going to cut the boom tubes off and re-use the collector to Xpipe section. The back side is going to be a CME again.

Sound I'm looking for: Aggressive yet quiet enough that I can not be noticed by the police station 3 blocks away. You know, something with a WOT scream and a tame idle. I know I won't be able to hide the loping but it can still be reasonable. I am not opposed to using a combination of mufflers to achieve a proper amount of noise reduction. What would your suggestions be?

Car pictured below.

Magnaflow Bullets (shorty's) sound amazing. They are quiet at cruising but really open up at WOT.

Just keep your CME tips and keep the exhaust you have.

No a few people that have the CME tips and a dumped exhaust.

I can't help you on the exhaust, but I would like to ask you to get a sound clip of your current setup

I think i've pretty much decided to go with magnaflow's longer bullets. If it's still too loud I'll add two of the shorter bullets. Looking forward to seeing how it sounds. I just paid for my cme (should have kept my first one!) so it should be getting shipped soon.
