get a couple dynomax race bullets and put them in right in front of the tips, will drop the sound 25% and be cheap as hell

Seriously, order a pair of bullets and slip them on there, you will like it and if not its easy to put back. It will quiet it Down 8-10db

I vote for the SLP dual/dual if you can find one. Quiet most of the time especially if you have cats on. With an ORY has a little more bark at WOT but still very tolerable. Nice quiet exhaust that still flows well.

I went Magnaflow after the headers/ory because the flowmaster was obnoxiously loud... def quieted down some, really cut down on the highway drone and light throttle accelleration. Sounds great!

Put theMagnaflow #12867 in the I pipe as per Bluz28, and if thats not enough then add the bullets to the tail pipes.

Do you have cats on your current setup? If not, going with a catted setup will help reduce the volume. Otherwise, the Magnaflow #12867 or Bullet insert ideas are a great way to cut down on the volume and rasp.
