thats why its so loud then. instead of trying a silencer, try to have your exhaust guy move the muffler back a little so that the tip sticks out past the bumper. if the muffler tip is flush with the bumper, the sound will just resonate throught the whole car, making it much louder and more annoying.

i have a full 3in exhaust from the turbo back, with no cats or resonators and my magnaflow is fairly quiet and not at all annoying.

Well Lagos, I just had a hi flow resonator put in today and boy, what a big difference in sound! Now the car is as quiet as stock be but with a very deep note..., just a beautiful note. I guess the resonator was the answer in my case. The only drawback was the boost takes a little reving than before to reach its max, but thats a small price to pay considering all the noise a vibrations above 65mph.
Anyway, just want to let you guys know in case someone else is having similar issue. By the way, my exhause pipe is 2.5", so a 3" or more may not neccessary have the same issues.
Thanks
