Default Exhaust a bit too loud...

Here's my setup: High flow cat, 2.5'' crushbent (mandrel wasn't available...and i didn't wanna run open header) piping, and a thermal straight thru muffler. Low rpms...very deep tone. Actually once I shift a bit past 3Krpm...gets a tad raspy. When vtec hits...raspy galore. It has a sweet sound to it...but i think it'll eventually get the attention of cops. Other than that...my car is dead stock looking.

Here's the question: If I get an ITR muffler...will that quiet it down? Would I lose considerable power or not enough to notice?

have a resonator welded in
and just so you know a crushbent will hurt your airflow.
it was once said a 3" crushbend exhaust will flow like a 2.5inch mandrel.
