Default Quiet down a cam car???

I have PS lt's, tsp ory, lmII cat back. I am looking for options on what exhaust sounds good and will quiet the car down some. Do the SLP pro-flows work good or should I change the whole cat-back setup??

SLP ProFlow is a lot quieter than LoudMouth. But with that said, I x3 Magnaflow. Personally I have Borla with an electric cutout in the adjuster so that works awesome.

Magnaflow and catted Y will quiet the car down by a lot, should be MUCH quieter at idle and when just cruising around. I know I love mines.

I like it the way it is but just looking to tone it down some. Thanks for all of the opinions. Does anyone still do borlamouth setups and is that any better than what I have now for sound?

actually had one move out over several complaints about my T/A, but i didnt care cause the huge hippo of a wife (his wife) was a bitch, and nobody like her. so management just asked me to be considerate in the morning. so i got magnaflow, no i am good friends with my new neighbors.

Did the same last summer. Went from loudmouth to magnaflow and have an electric cutout that I still need to get welded in. Happy I made the switch to the magnaflow, and when I get out of the neighbor hood I can just open the cutout.

I added a Magnaflow bullet style muffler in my I-pipe and it knocked the sound volume down a good amount. Worked for me.
