Default Bullet Mufflers in Succession?

I'm still in the midst of throwing together a setup for my exhaust. I've already decided on the headers, ORY and cutouts, but I'm looking to tone down the sound to a livable level (at least when the cutouts are closed). I currently have an LM1 catback, so the resonator will have to go once the rest of the system is set up. I've heard good things about Sweet Thunders, and I was wondering if I could put two Sweet Thunders in succession with each other on the I-Pipe.

i believe 3" sweet thunders only have a 2 1/4" flow path so you will drop a lot of power then your cutouts are closed if you put them both in your i pipe.

Depending on your ground clearance i would put a magnaflow 12867 style muffler in the i pipe, they also make some longer versions of that muffler i believe. You can also put mufflers in your tailpipes.

Well I'm not too worried about performance while the cutouts are closed, I just want a quiet(ish) system that won't get the neighbors to call the cops on me. Also, because of how the pipes are laid out on the LM1, there aren't any spots to put mufflers on the tailpipe.

EDIT - I just checked their site and now they make bullets with 2 3/4" flow path.

Just add the SLP Powerflo system to your Loudmouth Catback already, it'll tone down the exhaust.

Wouldn't I have to buy the whole catback if I wanted the PowerFlo addition? I can't find it by itself, and I'd like to avoid spending $650 if I don't have to.

I think the Powerstick sounds badass and would bolt up pretty easily in place.
Here is a video I found
