It's fun being loud when getting on it most of the time, but I honestly feel embarrassed when pulling into/exiting the work parking lot, and my wife absolutely hates my car now. I really want to figure out how best to tone down the volume, and I'm not sure if upgrading to a Vibrant 17930 is enough.
Have you considered getting a cat welded on? Or do you already have one?

I bigger/longer resonator plus a cat will definitely quiet down the system.

A spun cat, might help... something like this:

those could make things/life easier.
good luck,
