Default Trying to quiet down my car

Just got my car running did a torque v2 ported 243s and a base tune for now...had a crosa cat back on it and the dam thing was too loud! Just sold my corsa and now it's open y till i figure out witch way I'm going with my exhaust. before I did the the cam/head swap I was running CUSTOM TRUE DUALS under axle and loved the real muscle car sound. now here's the thing I like the true dual sound but I don't want it to be as loud as the corsa...I got a stock muffler with 3 inch just laying here and i got 2 high flow cats but also don't wanna loose power either HELP ME OUT APPRECIATE IT!

I have an adjustable Borla cutback and put an electric cut out in place of the adjustable plate. The car has H&C as well, this way I can route all of it through the muffler or open it up from the driver's seat when I want

i would like to know what you do to make it quite. i am also trying to do the same thing with my car once i get true duals. i think maybe just some high flow cats can tone it down. Post up video of how it sounds right now and after you install the high flow cats...

The magnaflow catback is very tame. Combine it with a flowmaster merge in the y pipe and I think youd be very pleased with the sound.

I have a FM merge and a gibson catback and its fairly tame as well. If all else fails you can install cats.

Look at the TSP catback. Similar to a Magnaflow sound and comes with a 3" cutout for use when needed.

Has a mellow, deep tone from what I can tell.

And if the Corsas were loud... try the Kooks True Duals...
