From my understanding MagnaFlow makes some of the quietest mufflers around. Maybe give them a ring

Dynomax VTs by far...and I've had the universal Magnaflows.

Not only are they packed with a buncha material, but they also have a valve that is mostly closed at idle and part throttle so it's super super quiet. In fact so quiet that all I hear in the cabin is enigne noise and the clickety clack of the valves and lifters.

But when you go WOT, it opens up and it's pretty much a straight through muffler...so loud as fawk.

Best of both worlds.

If you really want an exhaust to sneak up on people.

A good combination is LT headers, good quality y pipe , electric cutout with an aftermarket super quiet muffler or stock muffler from a performance car or even stock muffler from the ranger.

If you want quiet, fit the largest mufflers you can, and as many of them as you can.

And a turbo or two also helps quieten things down lol
