For some reason the exhuast forum is closed , so i posted this here.

Basically i want to quieten down my exhuast as im getting sick of loud exhuasts and to keep the EPA happy. It currently has the following setup :

- 3" Front Pipe
- 3" Midpipe
- 3" Cat converter
- Split into two 2.5" pipes
- 2 x 3" Mufflers
- 2 x 4" Cannons

Now if i were to replace the cannons with say 2.5" mufflers this would this make the exhuast noticeably quieter? I would also think this would not impede flow going from 4" cannons to 2.5" mufflers as the pipes leading to them are only 2.5" anyway?

Anyone else got a good setup which is quiet around town but sounds good when you open it up?

Any brands/parts recommendations are welcome!

Yeah, get rid of the cannons as a first step - they are serving no purpose other than to make the car louder and add bling.
