Cats help - the long 18" Twisters also help and there is usually no drone at all with them.
4x9 Magnaflows are great too, but to get any kind of ground clearance, you'll need to 'bash' in the floor-boards underneath the rear seat cushions.
It's possible. The quietest systems I've built - that still make great power are Macs, or stock '01+ manifolds(with or without cats), with a Dr Gas X - and 18" Twisters. Almost stock quiet at idle on a bolt-on car. But still sounds salty when you want.

Thanks Guys!
Hey Lane,
I have Flowtech LT's... Is there room for dual 3"QTP's and cats before the X?
Do you have enough adjustability for different header configs? Does it fit with a spoohn tq arm?
PM me if this conflicts with sponsor rules.
Thanks!

My main deal is being able to be quiet under 2K. The cops around here are on a rampage.
Thanks!

Putting cutouts in front of the X will not give you any more power. We had a customer do that and dyno(heads, cam, nitrous car) - and he made about the same rwhp numbers, but lost midrange hp and 15-20 rwtq! His system is even reduced to 2.5" at the mufflers - and his duals go out the back under the axle where there's two MORE 2.5" Magnaflow mufflers... The comparison loss would be even greater IMO if his system was 3" all the way to the axle. The X crossover gives you power over open headers - especially the Dr. Gas! proven and patented X. We've seen it many times. I tested it on my bolt on car at the track. Ran 11.45 through the duals and mufflers and went 11.46 through open headers(with extensions).
