Default Cat-back exhaust question

I just purchased a 2005. It has L.G 1 7/8 headers, x-pipe and B&B cat-back. All the way back is 3 inch until it goes into the muffler then it reduces to 2.5". My question is who makes or what can I use for a cat-back system the B&B is to loud for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I had two C5's but this is my first C6 so this is new to me. Thank you again.

You've probably got Bullets which are as loud as it gets. Corsa Sport is a really good system, great sound but not intrusive.

Yes your exactly right, really aggressive sounding and I wouldn't mind it but I leave early and wake the whole neighborhood up. I looked at Corsa's website and didn't see a 3" exhaust listed, but I may have missed it.

Most exhaust systems are reduced to 2-1/2

I guess my question is, if I bought a catback listed for my year car do you think it would bolt on?

Any system for your year should bolt right up.

Thank you for your help. Right when I had the C5 ZO6's halfway figured out I buy a C6. Thank you again.
