Default MY exhaust set up is too LOUD!

Whats up guys I need a little input. My current set up is Stillen headers, FI test pipes and the Turbo XS catback and I want something to make it quieter and i dont want to get rid of the test pipes but want to change the catback.. I got bagged for modified exhaust 2 weeks ago.
The 2 that i have heard are quiet is the fujistubo legalis and the greddy Evo2 dual. Also I like the Fast intentions catback and A.H. pmed and said its quiet around cruising speeds but when i hear video clips on the exhaust it seems pretty loud to me. Finally im debating on wheather I should get a true dual this time as most people say that a true dual has better gains than a single?

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated as well as for other different exhausts. thanks.

I too have the turboxs......it is in my experience without question the loudest dual I have ever heard.

Example:

Ignore the rattle....its been remedied.
It is actually louder in person.
Smoke is from the new test-pipes that were just installed prior to the quick vid.

My bassani is pretty quiet until you get on it, 3500+ rpm.. sounds better than the nismo as well (I know it's subjective) not so plain.

Greddy Evo2 with test pipes sounds terrible.

Fast Intentions, Nismo, Borla, Magnaflow, and Stillen are all quieter sounding exhausts that you can consider.

Bassani is nice and quiet. You can only hear it when you step on it but it's a nice deep growl sound.

If you're in MA, I have the Fast Intentions resonated Test Pipes and the Intimidator, if you want to check out the sound.

I think it is safe to say that any exhaust when matched with headers and testpipes is going to be loud...... /thread.

Get HFC and or stock cats if you want quiet.

I understand this but some exhausts with test pipes and headers are quieter than my turbo xs. I think the turbo xs is one of the loudests. I know its gonna be loud no matter what but i do not want obnoxiously loud.
