Default help need a quiet ,good sounding exhaust .

as the title says i need a quiet yet good troaty sound exhaust . car has long tubes ory and electric cutout .. need it to sound stock or even quieter with the y pipe closed .. it has a flowmaster catback on it right now .. lookin to maybe adding few 3" cats or a moroso spiral flow muffler .. or sumthing to quiet it down aloooot ...

it should make about 450rwhp on motor and 600+ on the bottle .. i want a sleeper effect on the way it looks and sounds .dnt want anyone to notice it has a cam .. quiet it and troaty .. not loud and raspy as a lot of these ls1 sound . any input on a good cheap way to quiet it down ? the moroso spiral flow is about 50$ so sumthing around that price range

depending on the cam you're using it will be hard to quiet it down enough to sound stock. is this on a T/A or Camaro?

I like how my SLP CME sounds with the cam & long tubes. It
is plenty loud if I get on it but very unobtrusive at cruise.
I sure don't need the attention. Not sure how it stacks up
backpressure-wise relative to aftermarket-best. Supposedly
not too bad. But the cutout works regardless.

Make sure to listen with big speakers or good headphones to get a semi accurate impression.
