Default Quiet high flow exhaust

My WS6 M6 has stock exhaust and some unknown catback and it is very loud and boomy. When I drive through tight streets in Philly it sets off car alarms. This is fun sometimes but it does get on my nerves after a while. And my LT1 seems kind of slow to me. Although I have never had it to the track I doubt it could break 14 seconds. Still love it though.

What is the best flowing quiet LT1 setup? I know many love the true duals as do I but the reduced ground clearance makes me hesitate. I wonder if you cannot get about the same flow with a single. Would LTs be worth it flowing back through a single pipe?

true duels will not only take away some ground clearance but be very loud. any LT's are better then stock or shorties. LPP headers everyone raves about them. idk which one is the quietest but magnaflow does sound very good

SLP Dual-Dual is quiet but is not made anymore, but still can be found used if you look hard enough.

LT's or TD's is just going to make it alot louder. Maybe some LT's with a Catted Y and SLP Dual-Dual or 2OTL would be a nice flowing/milder sounding setup. Magnaflow is tame as well when just crusing but WOT its quite loud so that could be an option. With TD's you could stick some cats in there and run some Magnaflow mufflers which are pretty tame and have another mild sounding setup as another alternative.
