i was wondering if anyone has any advise on mufflers and the differnt sounds u get from them

heres the deal i have a civic with a gsr motor stock header, right now i have-- cat into-2 1/2" good mendrel pipe into premuff- into 2 1/2" in-4" out dc sport muffler....its one of the round ones nothing special i thing muff by itself is like $50 online....it really doesnt sound bad, its just loud. now not straight pipe loud but loud enough to get pestering

i really would like to have somthing very quiet but at the same time i dont want to rob myself of power by but puttin on a stock muff. now i understand motors in cars have diff strokes and all that so a civic really will never sound like a stock 350z or a stock boxer motor like a subaru. but these cars are som examples of cars with exhaust that i would be ok, due to with the height of their tones


so i guess i wouldnt mind a little sound but i would also like the sound of the intake to be heard will in the car.....any ideas, thanks
