Default Smallest but quietest mufflers?

Alright so instead of TD's dumped at the axle, I got a good deal on a full TD system all the way back w/ tips. There are currently glasspacks at the end, welded to the tips, but I know I'm going to want it quieter for this car. There is a spot right before the pipes go up over the axle that I might be able to sneak in some small mufflers.

What are the quietest, smallest mufflers you can get at a reasonable price?

A moroso spiral muffler. The longer the more quiet it will be.

Spiral flows are NOT quiet by any stretch of the imagination. I do love mine though

Could try high flow cats?

I had a 2.5" x-pipe system with high flow cats and dynomax bullet mufflers dumped at the axle. It was one of the quietest TD systems, flowed great and sounded amazing.

I'm really a fan of the dynomax bullets, although their inner muffler design changes from 2.5" to 3"... kinda weird.

Small as in bullets, or a regular style muffler? I'm a fan of Dynomax, and I'd recommend the bullets if that's what you're looking for. If you want a regular style muffler, the Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers are some of the best flowing, quiet mufflers around.

Yeah I'm not sure if I want bullets or a regular style muffler, just whatever will fit in the very small space I'm working with and quiet it down as much as possible.

At this point I'm either thinking of

1 - keeping the glasspacks/tips and trying to fit in a muffler before the tubing goes up over the axle

2 - Ditching the glasspacks/tips and replacing with a muffler tucked up under the rear bumper area then running some tips

Not sure which way to go yet...

Dynomax Bullets all day, I love the way they sound. And maybe high flow cats. That tames the sound but still sounds god-like.

Cat's are not an option... no need for emissions on this beast

But will just bullets quiet it down enough?

Dont knock cats off just yet, they do quiet it down some. I have them on mine with no emissions equipment to quiet it down even more

I know everyone is suggesting just bullet mufflers, but this car is just too loud lol. I think bullets would be a great on a bolt on car but I need something that's really going to make a difference.

Called up flowmaster, got the typical "You have true duals on a camaro? How? I've never seen anyone with a good true dual system on a camaro."

Noobs.

I hear you man, I have spintech bullets dumped not even at the axle, more like front seats. There isn't even a tone to it it's so loud lol...

The exhaust I just bought is ran all the way back with bullet mufflers, so MAYBE having a full exhaust will make a big difference but idk...
