Default Quieting down true duals with tailpipes

I just had my true duals run all the way out the back and reused the spiral flow mufflers and put them just before the tips behind the bumper. My setup is exactly like this except it has an H pipe, no cats, and no resonators by the driveshaft.



I'm wanting to clean up the sound, mainly at high rpm's as it gets pretty raspy. What would be the quietest muffler out there that would fit behind the bumper where my spiral flows are?

lol. The setup in the picture is not my car; I just copied off the layout. I wish that car was mine though. 455 LSX...


Any other ideas? I'm not so much looking to quiet the setup, just clean up the sound so it doesn't have that old farm truck with glasspacks tone at WOT. Should I go back to an X pipe (dr. gas) maybe?

What bullet style mufflers are out there that are quieter and smoother sounding than the spiral flows? I need a bullet style as that's all that'll fit behind the bumper on both sides.
