If loud is an issue, stay away from cutouts.

Run cutouts and very quiet muffs. That'll let you drive without the drone and rattle windows on cruise night. Or drown out the racket in the next stall at the drive-in. The electric ones seem to work well.

stock muffler and cutouts that allow you to open partially are your best bet.

You can open them completely for really loud and partially for a lil noise.

If you do get pulled over, close the cutout and visually the car looks like it just has a stock muffler.
