Default Quietest mufflers for c6

So I realize this might sound like a strange question but understand I have to drive 2 and a half hours to work every week. Here's the project.

Kooks 1 7/8 LT Headers
Kooks catted X Pipe
Brian Tooley Racing LS3 Stage IV N/A Cam

So obviously this is going to make the car very loud. So I want to get the quietest aftermarket mufflers put those on and then install dual electric cutouts.
This way I can have the rowdy car when I'm driving around town but when I make my drive home I can have a more mild sound that doesn't drive me crazy with exhaust drone. Opinions?

why not a stock C6 GS/Z06/ZR1 muffler? Their is mods you can do to them to make them flow better...everything else, is PROBABLY gonna give you drone....unless it's a corsa or something.

Check out my thread on the "True 3" muffler mod" it is real quiet and also full retard loud. Best mod I have done on my car. Videos are in that thread. It's wife, sister and neighbor approved.

2012-2013 z06 or 2009-2013 zr1 mufflers would be ideal. straight pipe when you want through the muffler then close the flap when you want it quiet. all controlled with an aftermarket remote controller.

you could use 2006-2011 z06 mufflers but the tubes inside the muffler are perforated and they are a little quieter. power between all of them is the same though

Meh. I just ripped my stock Z06 exhaust off in favor of some LG GT4's and couldn't be happier. If you're happy with the weight of the stock system, then by all means. I personally am not impressed by the sound of the stock system either, modded or not (yes I've heard the videos and seen it in person)

OP I'd be looking at one made by B&B if I were you, as they utilize the valves in the tips as well.

I have the NPP with the mild2wild switch. When its closed its probably the quietest exhaust you can get.

I agree with Mike, I have 1 7/8 catless headers system with a set of NPP Z06 mufflers on my base C6. This setup is perfect for that balance between performance and no drone.
