New exhaust setup too loud

My new exhaust setup is way too loud. I need to know if there is a way to quiet it down any without going back to stock manifold.

I have:
1. Pacesettter header
2. fat catz cat replacement (not a cat - looks like a muffler inside)
3. custom pipes to custom "y - pipe" 2.5" I.D. to two 2.25" I.D. all the way back
4. 2 HKS hi-power mufflers

I basically have to run it with the silncers in because I can not take the noise.

from your post it sounds like your new to this whole thing. did you just buy the car perhaps? read all the old threads about exhausts on here. use the search, there are tons. racingbeat makes presilencers that would be MUCH better than using precats. Any cats will kill power. YOU DO WANNA SOUND LIKE AN IMSA GTO CAR DON'T YOU DAMNIT!!!

did you actually get pulled over or decide for yourself? if you didn't get pulled over i'd live with it hehe...
otherwise, use GReddy mufflers - they are quiet as hell for the amount of flow.... or go with a "racing" cat... i've done that before...

I just think it is too loud, other than straight pipes off of a v6 I have not heard anything on the street louder.
