Too loud!

Hey guys, i have a borla header, tomei overpipe, jdl ultra quiet frontpipe, and a speedfactory86 catback. No matter what I do, the car is crazy loud and has a metal tin sound. When you let off the gas it sounds amazing! But while getting on it, sounds terrible unless at high rpms. Does anyone have a good suggestion to make it quieter? What's the quietest axleback out there? Would adding asecond resonator from an exhaust shop be enough? I appreciate a the help guys, thanks.

I went with the Q-300 and HKS dual resonated front pipe. Nice and quiet, no drone when starting, but still sounds good when you get on it.

Alright, sweet thanks guys. Anyone know of one for sale? I originally had a motiv front pipe with a high flow cat, but it was too loud so i got a jdl with a high flow cat and a resonator. If anyone is looking to buy it, or trade for one imo, it has less than 300 miles on it.

Resonators do not make things quieter. Mufflers make things quieter (and so do cats)

So I learned, lol. Did help with some of the rasp though, obviously not nearly enough.

HKS Legamax Sport is barely louder than stock and sounds amazing. Worth the price for sure
