Quiet muff needed
Personally I would be a little upset if someone was really complaining about the noise level of your car. Actually I would be very upset. So you live in a nice neighborhood. How many nice neighborhoods garage 429 Shelby Cobras that have header side-pipes that shake the ground... No one complains about that. If you had a big block corvette I guarantee it would be louder than your car. Tell your neighbors to **** off. If they dont like it they can leave. They just moved there and they're telling you (who has obviously lived there longer than they have) that they dont like something that your car does then they can just pack it right back into the truck and take it somewhere where people dont enjoy their cars. Remind them that it could be a lot worse. If you had a Loudmouth then I could maybe see their complaint. But you have one of THE most quietest catbacks on the market paired up to a catted Y!!!!!!!! How loud could it be? People dont report any sound increases at idle over the stock exhaust system.
Life is too short to be tactfull. Tell your neighbors to **** off and get a new hobby. They have it pretty rough if their most agrivating thing of the day is listening to your car start up and leave each morning. How long could that possibly last? A minute? Your freakin lawn mower makes 4 times more noise and you do it for how much longer?
I think you need to get a dog with a really loud and obnoxious bark that never stops barking all day. Then let it go take a dump in their yard every morning. Give em something to REALLY complain about!

Off topic? Im trying to tell the man that if he likes his car just fine then he should keep it that way and not let the NEW neighbors tell him what to do. I wasnt trying to change the thread around or anything.
If it really needs to be quieter I guess then the best thing IMO would be to sell the Hooker, put the stock catback on it, and get a cutout. The bullet in the I would be okay, but you're just hacking up a hooker system that you could sell, especially if you've still got the stock system there. Bullets in the I pipe are a bigger diameter overall than the pipe alone...obviously. And if anyone thinks that a bullet in the I pipe doesnt hurt ground clearance then I will show them a huge dent in my expensive borla XR1. It didnt get there because the object in the road jumped up to hit it. Same goes for my crunchy cats on my tsp catted Y I used to sport before the Pacesetter Y.
I vote stock catback with an electric cutout... you're halfway there already. And chances are you need to have the stock over-axle pipe re-welded anyway from the cut needed to get it off...so having a cutout welded in wouldnt cost much more.
If I was out of bounds earler then I apologize. I didnt mean anything bad by it.
But, let one of my neighbors tell me that I annoy them...
