Muffler recommendations?

My V6 is way too loud (or maybe i'm just getting old). It has 2 mufflers and 2 resonators and its embarrassing to drive, and is a cop magnet. Can anyone recommend a brand of muffler for a twin system that will shut these things up?

    I wanted to make my 3000E quiet yet not restrictive.  Start with 2 resonators up front, then a Balance Pipe, then a muffler each side, finally a 2 in 2 out muffler at the rear or 2 resonators side by side.  The balance pipe is a must on the V6.  My E has a very subtle note which is in line with the style of this model

    Thanks JR, a subtle note would still be nice.  It used to be like that but this new system is a disaster and the blokes that did my original one are gone.  I have the balance pipe before the mufflers.  Where does the 2 in 2 out go?  I assume behind the diff but how does the second tail,pipe make its way around the tyre well or do you mean like original where the tail pipe is just on one side?  I have twin system with twin cutouts in beaver panel so I would like to keep a tail pipe on each side.

    Ah well better to stick with a twin system then.  Add a muffler or resonator each side at the tail pipe end, also avoid the flow straight through mufflers in the centre of the car, offset mufflers drop the noise a bit

    No room for another (or longer) resonator behind the diff, but my mufflers are not offset so maybe thats the ticket.
    Thanks.
