Default Help...Exhaust Too Loud!

Ihave a full Flowmaster Exhaust with X pipe(no cats) that sounds awesome. The problem is that it being loud never bothered me until recently. We have a new baby daughter at home and it is waking her up when I leave for work in the mornings(and you know my wifes reaction to that).Is there a way short of changing out the mufflers or modifying the exhaust to quiet it down. I am a motorcycle guy and have always used Slip-In Baffles at the tailpipes(very easy to install and take out)to quiet them when I wanted to and was wondering if any of you knew of anything like this available for cars? I love the sound of this car and only want to "tone" it down a LITTLE!!!

Didny he say w/out changing out the exhaust??

Bassani makes baffles for the inside of their tips. I dont know for sure how much quieter it makes it but i have heard that it does a good job. Check on bassanis website, they should be able to give better/more info on this.

Local auto store(ADVANCE) has quieting tips that really work. They are like a mini flow thru muffler. Can be welded on or simply clAMPED ON WITH THE 3 SET SCREWS THAT COME WITH THEM. aBOUT $25. EACH. mARK
Sorry for the caps. If you have drone and you get these and they stop the drone please let me know!
