Default Exhaust Noise??

Right im hoping someone can help me on exhaust noise problem that I have. Aparently in Scotland its against the law to have an exhaust that is louder than standard! So I have great problems in driving anywhere without hassle from the police! Anyone know a good effective way of reducing the noise on a upraited exhaust? An idea I thought of would be to put some sort of butterfly type idea in the exhaust that could be open when on the open road an some sort of switch that closes the butterfly enough to keep the police happy! All Impreza exhausts must be under 80db! Mine was 107db!

Anyone ideas?
