Default Magnaflow or Hooker ? ...

Guys, my car has gotten to a point where people have started complaining about the "scary" sound lol Plus, it has become somewhat of an inconvinience for daily driving...

So, I'd like to remove the GMMG and replace it with a mellowed exhaust...

Just wondering what would do that while keeping a nice deep note from the exhaust!

Thanks

A mellow exhaust would be the slp dual dual. Personally I would not get rid of the GMMG though.

I would never get rid of the GMMG... it's so freakin badass.. But, my God damn neighbors, work people... ugh!!

I guess a Magnaflow with Electric Cut-Out would have to suffice...

Btw, what size cut-out would work with the Mag ? 3" ... I'm talking about the QTP Electric Cut-Out

Thanks!
