Magnaflow is one of the quieter catbacks, but it's definitely not as quiet as stock. If you want something just barely louder than stock, and much better flowing, then an old SLP dual/dual system would be perfect. Those are hard to come by at this point though, since they've been discontinued for many years. They still pop up for sale used every once in a while.

Sound is a very subjective thing, so it would be hard for anyone to know what is considered "too loud" for your region. Have you tried listening to Youtube videos, etc., of various exhaust systems? That's not ideal either, but it will give you a better idea than the opinions of those who are not familiar with your region and what is passable there.

I've heard other f-bodies with Magnaflow, and it's not very loud.

My goal was to quiet my exhaust down, and I went with Magnaflow. It's definitely much quieter than my old Loudmouth/Dynomouth, especially at cruising RPM. But at WOT it still gets pretty loud.

If you want really quiet, get the biggest muffler you can. Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers flow great and are very quiet.
