does anyone know how to silence an apex n1?

I have problems with the police in my area(who doesn't). I am constantly followed by the police and tonight i was pulled over for having a loud exhaust. I just bought an apex n1 exhaust and i was wondering how to make it quieter i have a header and pre-silencer. Please help me if you can my car has to be quiet because these cops hate me.
thank you

You could by the silencer that is made for your exhaust system. It makes it go from a 4.5 inch output to a 2 inch out put. It quites it down a good deal. It hurts the high end but the low end torque is nice around town. And my ears not ringing is also nice

wrong size? do you have the single or dual system? or a generic N1 muffler applied to custom piping?

i have the silencer on my single catback...works great and quiets it down nicely

Hmm...well they do make turbo and NA N1 mufflers. I guess you got NA silencers.

Well I'll let you know 3 things that are against you when worrying about sound.

1) you have an NA
2) you have a header
3) you bought the n1

If you are worried about sound, you need to get rid of the header and get a straight pipe. Then get a smaller muffler design like the Racing Beat catback. Or maybe just throw a high-flow cat in there. Keeping an NA quiet without cats is just close to impossible to begin with.
