flat blacked ws2 or noir. if they still make the rsr exhaust it would fit the bill also.

The Apexi WS2 and RSR exmag are both 60mm which is ~2.36". That should be big enough depending on your application but if you are bent on 2.5" on bigger than I don't know of any off the shelf reasonable quiet exhausts on the market. Custom most times ends up being cheaper depending on where you go.

If you have 2.5" exhaust now you could get a WS2 muffler welded on and that would quiet it down substantially...

I don't think the WS2 and noir are straight through though, are they? I always thought mine was baffled.

Does "quiet" and "straight-through" actually exist? That sounds challenging to me...

Of course it does. Straight-through design allows for a fiberglass packing around a perforated tube that exhaust gases travel through. The more packing, the less sound. Also, you should be using a resonator in conjunction with your muffler for further sound refinement. That all being said, Magnaflow has a huge selection of mufflers, all straight-through design, varying in size and sound control.

the Hytech system is very nice, but it does not look stock on an hatch.
