Quieting down the exhaust...

I have a cam, Jet-hot LTs, Jet-Hot y-pipe, no cats and a Magnaflow exhaust.
I really like the way the car sounds, but I'm getting tired of its loudness at part throttle, plus, I'd like to be able to enjoy driving this car more around town without making too much noise.

Someone recommended some 3" pipes with resonators from Autozone. They supposedly work perfect with the Magnaflow. I couldn't find these... does anyone have a part number?

Any other opinions?
Thanks!

Re: Quieting down the exhaust...

I guess you could always go with some of those silencing cones but if you really want a reduction in noise you should get an SLP dual/dual catback... guarantee you will no longer complain of too much noise, more likely you will complain its not loud enough.

Re: Quieting down the exhaust...

Thanks Brad, but I would rather not replace the catback. I'll see if I can get those pipes/resonators and give them a try. Otherwise, I'll just drive the car on "special occasions" only.

PS. I also have an electric cutout on it, but for obvious reasons, I don't use it that much.

Must be a bad tune jk

Honestly the hooker Aerochamber is a pretty quiet muffler. Should be able to just pick up the muffler for about 60 bucks
