If you quiet it down, you are going to loose performance because you are going to have to change the flow of exhaust. That is why race cars are so loud, very free flowing exhaust. If you quiet your car, you are going to loose some performance.

presilencer and a muffler that isn't straight through, you will lose a little performance with the muffler but not much

If you get a presilencer and a Racing Beat muffler you'll actually increase power with a nice quiet sound

Why worry about losing the nth degree of performance when the machine is too noisey to enjoy?
