My Dumps are causing unwanted attention

Well in the small city I moved to a few years back has a young police force trying to make a name for themselves and my current set-up Kooks 1.875" headers to Speed Inc. true duals (Dumps) before the axal,is causing me some unwanted attention from them.
It's loud!!!

I would like to tone down my exhaust a bit and put a cat-back (3") back on but don't know what to go with?
Awhile back I tried Flowmaster,Corsa,GMMG and found I preffered the Dumps to all of them

But again this no longer a option.

Can anyone recommend a good system for my set up (See Sig.)?
Mufflex/SpinTech,TD over the axle,or any other kick-*** setup??

Yes,they gave me a warning.
Not interested going to a stock set-up.Something a notch or two down from where it's at.
Mufflex anyone?

Mufflex would quiet it down a bit. The Hooker should not be large enough for your setup.

I just went from a magnaflow catback to a TSP duals dumped with bullets and love it. Will not go back at all. Love the mean musclecar sound.

If you are really trying to calm it down, the catback i really like is Hooker. Its pretty quiet and tame just like magnaflow, but it has a more deep rumble, and muscle car sound to it.

Also, Borla isnt a bad option either. Just dont like the tips. I remember crusing right next to another fbody with borla and you can hear that deep sound at cruising.

I'd swap the current ones out for a set of 3" Borla XR1, they have a deep mean sound, but are very tolerable on the street.

Do they match up with the SpeedInc dumps? Also,are they low rumble sounding?

Thank you for the feed back everyone.

Borla Adjustable with an E-Cutout -- complete control. Problem solved, volume control from the driver seat.

I'm confused as hell! Speedinc has dumps for these cars? I thought LPP and TSP were the only two that actually made a kit.

i suggest whatever mufflers you have, (or lack there-of) putting high flow cats in, and swapping the mufflers for some XR1's or similar.

the cats and quieter mufflers will tone it down a lot, and also keep that muscle car sound you love about the duals.
