Default exhaust set up so the sam is quiet

I have an lq9 with 1 3/4 tsp lt and I'm going to install heads and cam and imvwanting to know how to quiet down a lot I have straight pipes right now with 3" and with a cam its going to be noticeable.
Anyone know how to make it more quiet To where it is barely noticeable to none at all,I'm planning on putting cut outs so I can have it breathing and close them when I'm just idiling or cruising it

A big magnaflow muffler will do the trick.

I have a hard time believing that this post is even serious...

yes a muffler will quiet down your exhaust. Depending on the size of the cam it will still lope at idle though... but a muffler helps to mask it.

Just put your cutouts directly on the header collectors. It will breathe fire with the Cutouts open, and get REALLY quiet when you close them.
