nothing is going to be as quiet as stock.

i had a crack in my old downpipe right before the cat, and the new single-shot catback (with resonator), cat, and downpipe is actually louder than my stock exhaust when it was cracked.

imho, if you can find a way to make the entire cat-back out of a glass-pack resonator, and then use a good muffler--you'd have the best chance of keeping it quiet.

good luck finding someone who makes it.
