Loud exhaust

Ordered a 22" Magna Flo from Summit. 2" outlets. Stainless steel. Lifetime guarantee. Going for single exhaust in stainless all the way.
 
Just got my 12" Mellow Tones! I'm planning on running the exhaust out under the floor boards in front of the rear tires.

UPDATE

Well, I don’t know what to say. I took my wife out for lunch. I had the back window unzipped as the temperature was warm and you can’t see anything out back with the window zipped closed.

I tried to keep the engine as quiet as possible
as we left the house. I braced myself for the coming tirade about the loud exhaust. I got down the street and around the first corner. Nothing from my wife. After about five minutes still nothing. We did the entire ride (about 15miles) with no complaints.

I love the sound I have now and my wife isn’t complaining! I think that secretly she likes it!

Maybe she decided her complaints were "falling on deaf ears" and she gave up.
 
For many years I used my '36 Ford coupe for daily transportation, which at times required a lot of highway driving. I have driven the car over 94 k during the years I have owned it.
For many years I had twice pipes on the car with Douglas mufflers. Finally got tired of all the noise, cops stopping me etc., I put stock type mufflers on the Ford in '56, have replaced them twice, the last time with 2" pipes on stock manifolds... Quiet is nice.
On an idle you can hear the cam overlap, Weber F-1, a little throaty, then the pipes quiet right down.
