Theres a custom made exhaust company in Walsall opposite Manor Hospital, ive had plenty of exhausts from him in the past, you tell him what style backbox you want and how loud, and they will make it.

Stick a H&S Resonated centre in. I'm running full decat H&S Front Pipe, TSL Grp 'N' rear and H&S Resonated centre.
The resonated centre drops it down by 2-3 Db to 96dB (ish) at 3.700rpm.

Doesn't sound much, but makes a nice difference.
Loud when you want it to be and subtle when not.

I think H&S also do 2 or 3 different backboxes with different Db levels
