i've been thinking about quietening my car down for a while, and getting pulled over by the cops and a $240 fine for 'driving in a manner creating excessive noise' last night, i think its time to put a muffler on. But which one? I have 3inch dump, 3inch cat, madrel bent all the way. I don't want it to be ultra quiet just take a bit of sting out of the note. I also don't want loss of flow, unless a bit of back pressure would actually create more power. can i have some suggestions please?

i used to run a 3 inch turbo back system with a single muffler and no rear resonator and it wasn't loud at all, practically silent with a nice burble on idle.

ive got a 3" turbo back system with a muffler and resonator, and it doesnt reduce flow, and its quiet as... you can tell that ive got an exhaust, and the note coming out of it is mean to say the least, but its no where near loud enough to get me into trouble
