Is there any SS mufflers that arn't straight through flow?

I have an OBX cat-back. I loved the sound with the silencer installed, to loud without. A few months later I installed a y-pipe and now the exhaust is a little bit louder than I like. I'd like to install a different muffler that is not straight through flow in order to quiet it down, but it must be stainless steel. I want to keep the entire system stainless. I have a friend the can weld stainless, I'm just looking for the right muffler. Any Suggestions?

Thanks

A resonator should take care of the noise, not a more restrictive muffler. Magnaflow double walls are stainless btw.

You can probably go to a local exhaust shop and ask for a quote on the resonator.

So, after checking, I do have a resonator on the center pipe. It's not as large as the factory one, but there is one there. I suppose I should look for one that's a little larger?

i think u can get them up to like 24" long....or somethgin like that...i have an 18" resonator but my muffler is 3" in/out (long story).....a larger resonator will help but again if u want a nice quiet sound look into that Apexi WS universal....or even try a stock OEM muffler...or a 5th gen 2k1 muffler
