Post Exhaust setup

My current setup it too loud! I must be getting old or something.

Current setup:
Pacesetter coated LT's and off road y-pipe (no cats), into a dynomax 18' bullet muffler, and a "dynomouth" cat back.

What I am looking for (if possible) is something that will quiet things down a fair amount at idle but will not rob me of much HP. What should I go with?

In the perfect world, I would be able to find a True Dual setup that had high flow cats plus mufflers to quiet things down and still keep my HP around where it is now.... I know this is a near impossible option though, I want HP and a toned down exhaust

Magnaflows get kind of loud after a while. I would say, just add cats and a cut-out. Quieter sound and more hp/loud when you want it.

Replace your bullet with a Borla XR-1 and call it a day.
