Cool Silencing 3" Exhaust?? HKS Hi-Power

FACTS:
03 wrx

3" TBE
2.5" uppipe
HKS Hi-Power

I used to go by, sounderformance ratio

that was 4 years ago

The sound of my exhaust doesnt turn me on anymore!

when I do when I see a cop, not only do I slam on the brakes but also pop it to neutral for a quiet-cruise-by

Im sick of this , my roommate can get away with lame burnouts in boring autotrans truck where as everything I do can be heard within a 4 block radius, limiting my potential adrenalin infusion.

HOW DO I SILENCE THE BEAST ?!?!

I am a designer/fabricator so I can make almost any part, but I want to hear your valuable input before I start chopping up my axle-back section for a silencer box insert.

I also want to include a healthy CAT into this set up, It makes me feel like a hypocrite everytime I take out the recycling bin.

get the jdm hks hi power silent version. I have it and it's super quiet (u can't even hear it with the windows up).

It was ordered wrong (I wanted the regular hi power), and was too quiet for me, so I mated the usdm hi power axleback to the jdm piping (u still need to modify/rotate the flange for it to fit).

I also have the jdm hks catted downpipe, u should get one too
