Default How loud?

Please help me forum,
i bought a c7z and I want more power! I came from a full bolt on c6z and I’m feeling a little underwhelmed. I really like how quiet the new car is, and I don’t want to overdo it like I did in the c6.
Does anyone have a 2300 blower and headers, but with the stock mufflers I could listen to around San Francisco Bay Area?
My build goal is just intake blower and headers with cats to keep it as quiet as possible.
i appreciate any input, like I said my goal is fast and quiet
thanks
Tyler

"...fast and quiet;" you are a man after my heart. However, more power means louder, all else being equal, no way around it from my experience. When I doubled the power on a recent build I had to add a second pair of mufflers to make it streetable... that after going through four pairs of mufflers to achieve the same effect, for an ultimate total of four mufflers! All the best.
