quietest performance muffler

I know most will wonder whats wrong with me, but my car is just too loud. I have an SLP exhaust. 2 on the left. Whenever i'm on the parkway its usually next to a concrete divider. whether moving or in traffic it just gets to me. I can't even take my car without waking half the neighbors. The problem is compounded by the fact i just bought a nice quiet new car. So now i have lost what tolerance i builtup over the last 2 1/2 years. I want a new quieter (not silent!) muffler so i can speak to my passenger and order food through the drive thru. I would till like a nice throaty rumble at full throttle too. Does anybody have a suggestion? Did i mention i have hearing damage too? I need help.

Dynomax Super Turbo is about the quietest performance muffler you will find.

did your hearing damage come from your exhaust? I have 25% hearing loss in both ears (born that way,supposed to wear hearing aids )

If so, you really should have changed your exhaust a long while ago lol.

I bought a 3" cat back through JC Whitney when they were $129.00, now they are about $229.00. They sound good outside the car but it's quiet inside and still got decent performance gain that you could feel in the pants! It's funny though, all the guy's/girls think it's stock and don't have crap! but they find out real quick, right off the line!

Funny, actually its occupational. Jet engines, air tools and hydraulic hammer drills, guns and maybe a little bit of loud exhausts!

I thought about the dynomax but i would like a 3" in and at least 2 2 1/2 out or 1 3 out. to further complicate things i want it in stainless. i would however take a flowmaster (heavy gauge) but i'm not sure how loud it would be in comparison. i like the mufflex style single hidden 3" exhaust.

The flowmaster Force II catback system that I have is pretty quiet, it's a 3" in and a single 3" out.
