3" exhaust WAY to loud

Alright so before i go any further my setup right now is as follows:

Badmab shorty header
3" Cattless ZZP downpipe
3" Mandrel bent Borla exhaust

Needless to say this is super super loud and it needs to be quieted down alot. So im now asking what are my options? would getting a catted downpipe make a difference ? There is only one muffler and its right at the end, not sure what model or anything all i know is that its a Borla muffler and its pretty straight threw ( as in there isn't much being muffled. It does seem to be making more power but it sounds like a jet engine lol.

From what I've seen in recent threads, I don't see a reason to go higher than 2.5" for a supercharged exhaust. If I remember my correctly from my tech knowledge (I'm working off old knowledge here ) s/c's tend to like a little more restriction on the exhaust side.

add a resonator behind the downpipe, you have a long straight length of pipe to add one in. that should help quiet it enough

The Cat + a resonator should help. Mines a bit loud still, but it's no where near no cat. LSJ's don't sound super great catless. It's a danm shame.

I would say that both a cat and a resonator will help. Here are two vids of my 3" setup. My exact setup is in my sig.
