Want quietest exhaust system for WSP Y

What I have now is a 3 year old MIDAS Y, cat, resonated B and muffler. The moment they have installed them I had screamed about noise.
This setup is very quet in low end up to 2500, but above that the noise kills me. Must be that low quality steel they use. The Y, cat, B's resonator and muffler resonator look shiny, but all the connecting pipes are rusted by now. I am looking at getting an all SS setup and I find WSP price reasonable for their new SS exhaust, but! I do not wish to pay for shipping of the SS muffler to Canada. What would you recommend: to bite the bullet and get their complete kit shipped to me or buy an SS muffler locally?

Who has a complete WSP exhaust - how loud is it? Can I find a very quiet SS muffler to use with their resonated B?

I wonder how well a Ravin would fit into your setup. It's main tone is in the 1000-2800 RPM range. After that it just drowns out.

AKAIK, Warpspeed only makes aluminized steel b-pipes, no stainless steel ones available for our cars. The quietest muffler I would imagine would be an OEM replacement.

I cannot complain about MIDAS Y pipe. It provides decent power and I like its design, it looks like a pretty large O in cross-section and is tapered from the flange to about 10" length expanding quite alot. It certainly is designed well and it survived quite well those 3 years of abuse in salted Toronto environment. So I may actually drop in an OEM muffler and once the connecting pipes rot away, replace them one way or another. I was only hoping to get a completely SS kit which is very quiet.

Just so you know. The material of the pipe/muffler doesn't determine how quiet it is. Straight though muffler will be loud, whether it's ss or not.

This is true no doubt! They put so much salt on Toronto streets, that regualr steel does not hold too long. I want SS for longevity, not sound qualities
