Who makes a QUIET high flow cat back?

My american thunder flowmaster cat back is losing my vote fast. It sounds friggin awesome, but its loud as a mother. I guess thats what you get w/400hp. I want the quietest thing i can get that flows as well as the flowmaster does. I heard dynomax blows, but im not sure. Anyone? Thanks..

Dynomax flows well but it gets a bad rep because the sound isn't that much different than stock and its cheap. People usualy associate cheap stuff with bad stuff.

Yea, i have to agree, but i also heard of dynomax rusting out. A friend of mine just painted his muffler to prevent it (since we have salt, etc). Hasn't rusted yet...other than that, it sounds very stock.. Maybe tiny bit louder with a hint of a deeper rumble. IMHO The dynomax is waaaay quieter than the flowmaster....very very quiet and very stock sounding.

I have Dynomax, and i think it's pretty quiet. As they said just a little louder than stock, but you can't hear it at all at crusing speed. As for rusting out, mine's been on my car for a few years and looks fine.
