alright. i'm gonna cut straight to the chase:

if you know that a muffler makes a lot of noise and you don't want a lot of noise, why even consider it???

^+1. the only quiet mufflers you'd be able to get are expensive and the cheap ones that require a silencer would be absolutely useless

^+1 why do people even consider aftermarket exhausts when they want it to be quite....i understand they want better WHP but with more hp comes louder sounds.

yes. pay a little (or lot) more money.

the RS-R exmag, World Sport 2, Greddy SP2 and twin loops are generally quiet under normal driving and emit sportier exhaust growl under hard acceleration without making you want to shoot yourself.

those are really expensive, i didn't know they were that high... is there a cheaper way to what i wanna do... im not planning on putting turbo on my car, it was bad enough that i had 15 points on my license, i'm down to 2 i think, after driving carefull around cops, lol and giving them my military id... all i wanted to put in was a cold air intake (which i just did), header (which i need to do) and a muffler system... i got a buddy club back bumper and i wanted to put a muffler that would almost be the same size as the arc on the bumper...

most doods on here recommend getting a custom aftermarket exhaust, such as a magnaflow muffler with custom mandrel bent piping and a magnaflow resonator.

i'm gonna recommend you but a twin loop (netami is a popular version on here at the moment) along with custom piping and a magnaflow resonator.

twin loops are generally quieter at lower RPM because of their unusual pipe routing design.

i don't think the arc on the bumper will fit the twin loop
