quiet exhaust system
Does it have to be dual outlet or can it be single outlet? That will open up a lot of options, especially since you're worried about volume on acceleration, which is the one area any straight through muffler is always going to be fairly loud.
Honestly I prefer duals but ill go for anything.
I just got pulled over on the way home from the gym. The cop was pretty cool about it. He said it sounded good but was to loud and I needed to get if fixed. He let me go with a warning But told me if i didn't get it fixed he would have to give me a ticket. would a bullet muffler in the strait part of the pipe after the cat right before it goes over the axle quiet it down a bit?

It certainly wouldn't hurt, but IMO it'll more "shape" the tone than really quiet it down. Where abouts do you live? I'm surprised the cops are giving you that much **** about a Magnaflow catback with cats. That's pretty damn quiet at just about anything other than WOT. Granted I'm in the Motor City, but I've gone past cops before with open headers and they gave me a disapproving look but that's about it.
If you want a dual outlet like factory, the quietest I've ever heard is a Dynomax Super Turbo. I think that muffler would get you out of trouble. Probably doesn't flow as good as what you have, but still far better than stock I'm sure. This is probably what I'd do if I were you.
If you want the ultimate in flow and hopefully a little quieter than what you have, I'd try the biggest single in/out Magnaflow you can fit. Still probably a little loud on acceleration, but should be better.
This may sound counter-intuitive, but I'd also give a large 3" single in/out Flowmaster a try, like their 70 series RV mufflers. The single in/out Flowmasters are said to flow much better than the crossflow ones that have the dual outlets for our cars. I've never heard this one in person, but from everything I've seen online they will have a mildly noticeable idle but acceleration should be quieter than a straight-through. I used to have a 30 series Flowmaster on my car with mid-length headers and cats, and it sounded great and was rather quiet, but unfortunately you'd have to track one of these down in 3" because they don't make them anymore.

I live In upstate NY the problem is that the car doesn't shift from second even on light acceleration till about 2500-2900 rpms this especially noticeable going up a small hill incline. at 55 the car is dead .
It doesn't sound like it has a leak but it is possible there is as i had to change the bolts for where the s pipe bolts to the cat the threads where a little shorter. would have to check it out. Other wise i don't see where else it could be leaking.
Ill look for a leak if I cant find one im going to try the dynamo super turbo it looks close to the same length and inlet and outlet so I should be able to bolt it right in. they are cheap enough I am willing to give it a try. thanks for the help birdie this was the information I was looking for.

Just thought I would update this. I went to pull the old muffler off today and when I did I noticed the one seem was split right by where the over the axle pipe goes in. My guess would be this happened when the over the axle mounting bracket broke and it put a huge stress on that area of the muffler. I'm not sure how I missed it when installed it.
OP with your true duals do you have turndowns? If so that's why the exhaust is so loud? I'm going to be putting true duals on my car but I'm going to run the pipes over the axle and out the back.
