Default exhaust too loud? What to use to quiet down?

I have pacesetter headers with ory to borla catback. I closed off the one side of the borla so it goes through the muffler but its still pretty loud and im getting pulled over to much. I dont want to lose alot of power but would like to quiet it down some. What should i get? High flow cats? Resonator? Extra muffler to weld in?

might try a bullet muffler just after the ypipe first. cheaper and shouldn't cost any power.

summit sells a 24" bullet....longer than the dynomax ones.

cats help to quiet down some. switching to a hooker or magnaflow would also quiet it down

Slightly off topic but it sucks that some of you guys get pulled over for loud exhaust all the time. I ran around for like 20,000 miles with LT's, ORY, and an open cutout and never got pulled over once.

magnaflow or hooker aerochamber catback for quieter sound while still keeping an aggressive tone. also both of these catbacks flow well

I have the magnaflow with LT's and cats. The sound is damn near stock. I love it. I used to have the TSP Rumbler and it was crazy loud, had to watch my back when I wanted to get on it. Now I can drive the **** out of the car without the noise.
