For the most part, the muffler is responsible for the bulk of the sound volume reduction, the resonator just helps with certain tones/frequencies; so what you need to quiet it down is a real muffler. The problem with OEM or OEM replacement mufflers is that you're going to go back to a nearly OEM sound. I'm assuming you hacked all the exhaust off because you wanted it louder in the first place- so my suggestion would be to find a nice middle ground aftermarket muffler. Not all aftermarket mufflers are screaming loud- they make many different styles for just about any level of sound you want between stock and straight pipe.
haha i wanted to hear how it would sound straight piped :cool:
glasspack helped a little, im getting used to it and it sounds beast! but it's loud enough to get me pulled over (which i dont want) lol, and it doesnt really matter if it gets close to stock quiet as i realized my monte is SLOW nevertheless :rotfl::rotfl:

will be getting the mufflers on sometime next week :thumbsup:

i took a video of it today but it doesnt do it justice on how it sounds in person, sounds like crap on camera :p

i'll upload it tomorrow anyway lol :o
