Quiet muffler help

I understand being catless creates more noise, BUT! I'm sure the right muffler can bring it down some, Does anyone have experience or a recommendation for a quiet muffler?

I was looking at the dynomax super turbo, well I bought one and it was the wrong offset, but I clamped it on for a sound test before returning it, and it really doesn't sound that much different from my borla straight thru muffler, Any one I know about walker quiet flow? or maybe something else that is quieter?

Thanks

I am catless with the zzp lth, 30" resonator and an 18" superturbo muffler, it is pretty quiet when it is warm outside, but when it is cold it is a bit raspy...mainly due to me being catless

yeah it probably does, it's basically a skinny cherry bomb style res. How long did you have it on your car? It took mine a few weeks to break in completely.

The borla has been on for 4 days haha, and the super turbo 2 minutes since I bought the wrong fitment and returned it tonight, offset/offset instead, it needs to be offset/center.
But after hearing it Im a little apprehensive of buying another in fear they may be better out there.

Joe schulte a member here said there is a thread about using one with "a built in spring valve that opens under heavy load and that most people recommend the V8 version as the spring is better for the flow we push on these boosted cars."

I actually have a ZZP Whisper Resonator that was rebuilt by ZZP (inside welds gave), its a 2.5". They dont offer them anymore, but before mine fell apart, it sounded AWESOME! I LOVED it, and was quiet even though I dont have a cat. Here is the link to ZZP's website: Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance

The only reason I didnt put it back on is because my car is my daily, and when it broke, I had to send it in for repair, and couldnt wait till it got back, so I had to put a different one on, and dont want to keep paying to swap them.

It was originally $150, I will sell it for $75 shipped, it is an amazing piece. PM me if you are interested.

I have thought about that to^ and its definitely an option, only issue is my system is designed for a straight through muffler and the stock is slightly offset, BUT it may work with some tweaking.

Sounds awesome but after searching I found tons of threads about them breaking, was the fix a revision or a band aid fix?
