A SLP Dual/Dual is a great flowing catback that is pretty quiet too. If you want a little more of a rumble try a Hooker catback. Neither one of those are obnoxiously loud with headers, alot of the other catbacks are.

I can't tell you how many complaints Ive read on here regarding guys with Magnaflows that put on lts/ory and hate it. They complain that it starts to rasp and drone pretty bad w/ an ory.
