Default Need a quieter exhaust

I just took my car in for a safety inspection and i guess my exhaust is to loud. It has lts/ory with a magnaflow cat-back and a mild cam. What would be the easiest way to quiet it down. I don't care about flow but i care about price because once it passes it is going all back to the way it is.

Do resonator tips work at all?

Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks

Don't waste your time or money with resonator tips. The only way you'll quiet it down is to put cats on it and maybe change the muffler. The combination of the ory and cam will make it hard to tone down.

Slap a spiral flow or similar bullet muffler into the I-Pipe. I have the same exhaust setup as you... guess the place doing your safety runs a pretty tight ship huh? Wow.

Stuff steel wool in the tips once you get there. The exhaust will flow through, and you can pull it out with a hanger.
