Anyway to stay quiet with headers?

So I am looking to upgrade my exhaust soon. I currently have an all stock 2002SS. I was planning on doing an exhaust but found one of my cats was going bad. So I am planning on doing the whole thing but want a quiet start up but scream up top. I am looking at Jet hot LT with a catted y pipe and either stock exhaust or SLP dual dual if I can't find one. Would this be a good set up? Trying to keep cost down as much as possible.

stay quiet

I saw a built on an older big block cadillac, wild engine setup and the dude was running 6 mufflers in a dual exhaust and it was very quiet. If you want to stay quiet put as many mufflers in as you can..and not "performance" mufflers. Just put a cut out behind the headers for when you want it to be loud.

Magnaflow Catback, catted Y, LT's. Should be pretty quiet on start up and cruising around, but nasty once you get into it.

i have longtubes, ORY, and magnaflow cat back. sound great, nice and quiet. open up the throttle a little and it is still quite tame for heads and cam. WOT, it sounds great
