I'm looking to quiet my exhaust, and still have good performance. As I bought the car, it has aftermarket header and cat, but appears to have stock Y-pipe and mufflers. I don't remember what brand the header and cat are, but I'm not necessarily looking to keep them. My engine is street ported, but I do not know to what extent, as it was already ported when I got the car.

My exhaust seems very loud, after startup during that 10 second 3000 rpm thing, I am unable to hear my friend's Chevy s10 and my other friend's Accord (with cracked exhaust) both at full throttle on both sides of me (windows down of course). I managed to set off a car alarm multiple times (same car, I think it's a little sensitive too). I'm looking for something that doesn't say "Hey cops, I'm over here!" as I go to a university that specializes in police training, so cops are as abundant as ants. The main priority is noise reduction, so I am willing to loose a small amount performance. I heard of a Honda something my friend saw that has been modded a lot, but is nearly silent. Something like that would be awesome.

Completely forgot to mention, it's a 91 N/A

Toss those stock mufflers for Racing Beat ones. They sound real nice and are quiet even with headers. They're pricey but worth it for a quiet exhaust system IMO.

Assuming the replacement cat is high flow, which is quieter, the cat, or a presilencer?

probably a presilencer, it is actually designed to deaden the noise where with the cat it is just more of a side effect.

Cool, thanks for the help.
