Default Corsa w/ LTS/ory help

Ive looked through and was reading some threads on here for awhile, and this site will be the only place ill ask this question, you guys are more knowledgeable than any sites i can think of. My truck is a 2002 Ecsb with a 5.3L and a z06 204/218 duration cam. i have paceseeter headers and off road y pipe, and the corsa muffler with turndown after axle. this bitch is loud, has a good idle which i like, but at wot its just obnoxious loud. i dont want to get rid of the corsa exhaust, but want to quite this bitch done without losing performance. what would you guys suggest be done? i was looking into maybe adding a dynomax bullet before the muffler to quiet it done, leave in a quiet neighborhood, and truck is just nasty at wot lol. just want to calm it down some and Keniff (iamkeniff) suggested a bullet before the corsa muffler. any videos of my current setup or something similar would be good too. i kind of want a stealth mode truck, but not stock ****, and ive heard the corsa flows good. sold my 14" magnaflow as well, then went with this corsa setup. and i believe its a corsa sport.

Most people here add a bullet or a small magnFlow in front of it, also running the tailpipe to the back helps out a little.

I personally would sale the corsa and get a big case magnaflow to quiet it down, plus youll still have cash left

I am with ap.. It is hard to keep any moderate hp quiet, esp with a bullet, or straight through style muffler. I would try to find a big case magaflow.. I went from a dynamax bullet(bullet) to a HUGE edy diesel muffler. It is over 9 inches in dai and about 25in long, it is still pretty damn loud.. I would like mine a tad quieter, but I do not have any room left to add another muffler.. If your looking to be QUIET, a big case muffler is the way to go. Then just add a cut out..

Heres the bullet, dynamax

And now with the huge edy muffler. Idle with this one is a little better, but cruise is alot better

i had a 14" magnaflow as stated, so you think i should get a 22" or so magnaflow and run that by itself? just cut the corsa muffler out and add the magnaflow case? I amkeniff has a 36" magnaflow and it actually sounded really good, I dont want to regret taking the corsa muffler out, but i want a good flowing exhaust that isnt this loud.

yup, go with a 5x11x22 magnaflow. thats what im running on my SSS with long tubes and high flow cats and its plenty quiet for around town and in my neighborhood but still pretty loud at WOT. ive tried 5 different exhausts on this truck and this is the only one ive really been happy with.
