Default Help - I need a quieter exhaust

Ok maybe my setup IS "quiet" compared to some, I don't know, but I really need this thing to be quieter. I have a handful of reasons for this. It's not so much that I'm old and can't handle the sound, although I guess that's part of it. I have an O/R prochamber and the Mac catback..I guess these are chambered mufflers? I don't wanna spend much money. What if I just find some cats and have those welded in? Will that make a big difference?

Loose the off road mid pipe, if that's still too loud for you, I swear that the slp power flow mufflers are quiter than stock, at idle and low rpms.

I am certain that if you get a pair of high flow cats welded in you will be golden on sound level.
GOOD LUCK!

I vote for adding cats as well. I added THESE to a o/r x pipe and magnapack CB and it cleaned up the sound a good amount. It's still on the "louder side" but it deff helped.
