Default cobra back box too loud

Just bought a bugeye and I want to change the cobra back box on it, bit to loud for me.
Not sure what to go for, I had a magnex on my last classic and that was too quiet.
Any ideas chaps ?
cheers

Have a Tornado 2 rear silencer on mine, nice and quiet on tickover, but sounds lovely when you give it the beans

I have a full miltek system with sports cat. Pretty quiet in the car but sounds GREAT from outside!

This is what Iv got on mine, still has a nice deep tone but is quiet enough not to make your ears bleed & is track legal. Speak to Cobra they are really helpfully & will even custom make you something if needed.

Have you looked at a revolution system. Nice sound under normal driving and comes alive when your showing the car who's boss.

Not too pricey and is also standard looking.

I'm sure it measured 93db static, and it's a 3" decat.

I have the resonated Cobra centre section on mine along with Prodrive cat and it sounds spot on. Deep tone and not excessively loud.
