Exhaust noise help.
Here's the Problem. I love the louder exhaust tone but just want to quiet it down a litle to lower the drone and noise from the passenger compartment. A little less noise outside would also be great. Don't mind too much noise at WOT. My car was originally set up with the factory headers, cats and B&B Bullets. It sounded great. I recently changed the headers to long tube Breathless style headers and Magnaflow High-flow cats. Now it's really loud and more interior noise than I care to have. Has anyone got any suggestions to quiet it down a tad or has anyone made any further modifications to their exhaust system to quiet it down. I was contemplating installing small racing mufflers after the high flow cats to reduce the noise, or should I replace the high-flow cats with the factory cats. I am running a supercharger/nitrous so I was wanting the best flow I could get. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I'm not sure of anything you can do to decrease exterior volume, but there is an aftermarket part that decreases interior noise.
