Default Ford Racing Cam Too Loud?

I have just modded my 2007 GT and am questioning if I went TOO loud for my DD.

Ford Racing Cam
Ford Racing Throttle Body
Ford Intake Manifold
Kooks Headers and Exhaust
Pypes Bomb Axle Back

I am concerned that it is too loud for a DD especially when I am driving to work early in the morning.

If I remove the Pypes Axle Back and return that to stock do you think it will make a reasonable difference?
anyone have an opinion?

My 13 year old daughter said "Can't you just turn it down with a volume control"

I'm curious, how does it run with the new cams?

get a milder axle back, the pype bomb is very aggressive

It'll probably make a huge difference to the volume without sacrificing any power. Your ears, and your daughter, will thank you for it.

She pulls hard.
It is all about the tune though...at first my tune wasn't great and the drivability sucked.
After a tune adjustment the drive is much better.

You could put stock mufflers back on, and get electric cutouts that you can open whenever you want it to be loud. Thats what i have and its great.

It's a bit hard to say if it's too loud because a) we can't hear it and b) what might be too loud for you won't be too loud for others. if you think it's too loud then it's easy to tone it back some.

I would say some quiter axle backs. Since you have the stocks ones I would see how
it sounds and runs with them.

Yould could also throw some resonators or something in there to tone it down
