Default quiet bullets?

I have the tsp 17/8s headers with the tsp true duals. Car has the tsp giant cam also. I either leave for work early or come home late depending on my schedule and my car is too loud for where I live. I thought about buying a y pipe and a magnaflow catback. Are there any bullets or mufflers I could swap these out for that aren't nearly as loud? I'd like to keep it duals if possible thanks.

You want bullet style mufflers only?

Magnaflow will be the quietest bullet. It'll still be loud tho. I've got a 408 with 4" single and a dyno max and magnaflow bullet on it and it's still terribly loud.

I hate to tell you this, but with that cam, even going with a catback with the quietest muffler still won't make the car quiet. It is what it is; a cammed LS. With that said, I'd keep the duals and put on two magnaflow mufflers, not bullets.

I know it'll never be considered quiet but I was hoping it'd get down to a reasonable level. I'll look into magnaflows..thanks

If your running TSP rumbler bullets, those are pretty quiet.

I had TSP duals with rumbler bullets and they were quiet compared to dynomax bullets.

You can try to maybe switch to hooker catback.
