Default Quieter exhaust suggestion?

Hey guys. I run a cammed LS in my Nissan 240. I run a set of modified hooker headers into 2.5 stainless into an H pipe, into two 12 inch glass packs and out to 2 Borla XR series mufflers.

Sounds awesome, but not good for on the streets. Its too loud and It's going to be me tickets. When I got the exhaust parts a few years back I wanted loud, but now I want to go with something more subtle. Originally I only had the XR's on the car, but it was too bassy so I added the glass packs.

What I am looking for is a 2.5 in/out muffler that is MUCH quieter then the XR. The XRs, I think flowmaster is out of the picture, people have suggested some magnaflow products, but I am to the point where I just want quiet. But finding something quiet in 2.5 is hard.

Is there something you would suggest?

Magnaflow and dynomax are your best bet. You can look in Jegs or Summit and find all kind of 2.5 in and out mufflers.

I understand that, but I am leaning towards something not designed to have tone, but designed to be quiet. Trying to hide the fact its a very cammed V8 in an import car

Magnaflows, my car sounds very tame for what it is with a single magnaflow.
