Default Quietest muffler with true duals

Thinking about going with a true duals set up but don't want it to be tood loud due to moving around with the military. What is the quietest muffler for the set up. It's tough for me to determine from ls1sounds.com because my laptop has crappy speakers and they all sound a little distorted.

Get a magnaflow 4x9. those are actually pretty tame sounding even with headers. Is the true duals going to be completely custom? Check out someone on here by the sn mr luos. He has an awesome true dual setup with magnaflows.

+1 magnaflows sound great on true duals, you might also look into the flowmaster single chamber. any time ive ever heard those they always seemed to be quiet. oh and 2.5 piping will be quieter than 3" fyi...

I think Hookers aero muffler is. Im running a 600 hp 408 setup and you would never know its a 408 until I open the cutouts.

I use Flowtech Raptors on mine currently, and it's fairly quiet (a LOT quieter than the Sweet Thunders, Spiral Flows, and single chamber Flowmasters I've also tried with my duals) and has a nice deep idle to it. Cheap as hell, too (about $20 each)

I'll probably change to Aerochambers or something else though, I'm never 100% happy with my exhaust
