Lookinf for a new muffler

hey guys,
currently i have an aftermarker exhaust with a borla x/s muffler. Although i love the sound, I am looking to replace it with a muffler that will significatly reduce the sound.
Does anyone have any suggestions on other mufflers that are quieter, or should i just replace my borla with a stock muffler.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Frankencar is the quietest aftermarket, almost as quiet as stock. The quietest with the straight through design is Cattman.

Fixed... "quiet" and straight through mufflers don't seem to go.

Another vote for stock. I will be going back to stock very soon. I had a Frankencar and that was even to loud for me.

Look in the 5th gen for sale section. I got mine from there with only 10k on it for $100 shipped.
