Muffler advice

Ok here's the deal. I currently have a Ractive axle-back exhaust on my car. It is now 2 years old and a lot louder then it was when purchased, to the point where it is uncomfortable for me to drive. So I've decided that I need to replace the muffler as soon as I can and sell the old one.

This is where I need your help. What kind of axle-back exhaust's are out there that are complete bolt on that maintain a good quiet sound. I'm not really looking for performance gains, I would just like something with a little bling and tip.

It can not be any sort of DTM tip, the exhaust most exit straight out of the muffler.

Anyone with suggestions greatly appreciated

thx Karl

ExMag features
- quietest exhaust note on the market (most applications)
- refined stealth like appearance
- ceramic coated mandrel bent piping
- dyno proven gains in horsepower and torque
- engineered in Japan
- signature RS-R exhaust tip
- constructed with 409 stainless steel for long life

With the street performance enthusiast in mind, RS-R developed the ExMag exhaust line to provide powerful gains in horsepower and torque while retaining a quieter exhaust note. It is a well known fact that it is extremely difficult to produce an exhaust system that makes good power without the excessive noise. However, through extensive R&D at RS-R Headquarters in Japan, all ExMag systems have been dyno proven to provide significant power increases over similar exhaust systems. Our "Exhaust Magic" lineup offers an excellent alternative to the noisy "coffee can" style of exhausts.

If you're tired of getting tickets and citations for excessive noise, this is the exhaust system you need. The classic styling and stealth like design will also help keep your car off the radar.

The signature RS-R exhaust tip expels exhaust from the muffler to produce a subtle look and quiet sound. This sleek style and quieter exhaust note, makes the Ex-Mag the ultimate street application.
