What muffler for a turbo??

I got a visit yesterday from the local Police telling me my car is too loud. What is the best muffler to help quiet things down and not add back pressure? I have a tc78 and a 3" DP. My DP is about 3ft long and 90's at the firewall

Thanks in advance

Magnaflow all day long. It's a straight trough and has a nice deep tone. You can get then in different lengths depending on how quiet you want it. I currently run 18" I believe Magnapacks and the sound is nice and deep with zero rasp at any RPM.

Any of the straight through mufflers. They're all pretty much the same, whether they're maxflows, ultraflows, magnaflows...

Do a magnaflow all the way to the back of the car and then utilize a cut out to ensure you dont lose any hp when you dont want to.

X2 thinking best of both. Nice quiter tone when just cruising then from a push of a button you won't have any restrictions for your power. Or If you like loudness just close it when you're close to you're home.
