Default Need cat-back

I'm going off to college and my lack of a muffler is pretty damn annoying on the highway. Driving 2+ hours each way home occasionally is going to drive me insane. So I'm looking for a decent cat-back that wont make a whole lot of noise when cruising. Cutouts would be nice, but not really a priority. Any suggestions/extra sets lying around I can buy?

Go with a magnaflow catback with a cutout in the I-pipe.

I love my setup.

i asked my local speed shop to reccommend a quiet normal driving, yet high performance at wide open throttle. edelbrock RPM catback. the muffler has 3 aprox 1 inch straight thru tubes inside. lots on the board like magnaflow or hooker but i think they like the sound. super quiet but expensive would be SLP dual dual. i'm an older guy with a sensitive ear and i love the basically quiet normal driving sound. the only reason my car is louder than stock would be the headers with high flow cats.

Im sure the edlebrock is a great catback too but I had my cammed camaro dynoed with headers, ory, and slp lm (basically straight pipes) and switched in the magnaflow and only lost 2-3 rwhp. The magnaflow flows exceptionally well and sounds amazing.

Magnaflow looks really good too with the stainless tubing and the polished stainless muffler.

+1 on the Magnaflow. I was able to get mine for under $400 through a sponser on this site. Plus the tips look bad ***!
