Default Borla Cat Back exhaust

I am looking into a new exhaust for my 2004 Dodge hemi. Someone pointed me towards the borla and said it is the best made. I was wondering if anyone of you knowledgable folks can help me here.

I want to gain some power and all, but dont want the noise. Is this possible? The rumble of the flowmaster I had on my old truck just made everyday highway driving less enjoyable. Sure it was nice to punch it from a dead stop and scare the neighbothood kids. But for my drive back and forth to work it was just a headache.
I wouldnt mind a low rumble but I do not want to break windows.

Any ideas or suggestion would be appreciated.

Borla would probably be a very good choice. Sounds very nice in my opinion, but not as loud as Flowmaster.

I have heard both Borla and Corsa systems on the Hemi, and they are probably the "milder" of the bunch - they give nice tone when you're on the pedal, and at 1500K-2200K RPM they are hardly noticeable. My advice - before you shell out 600+ for a top-o-the-line stainless system, make sure it will be as loud as you want it - if you don't do a lot of towing or long distance trips with kids, you'll be kicking yourself when you hear another Hemi roll by with a flowmaster/magnaflow system that is much louder and deeper - and only cost $250.......

I've had my Super 40 Series Flowmaster for about 2 months. I don't think there's too much interior resonance with these mufflers. A friend of mine had an '04 1500 with Magnaflows and he even says how much deeper the Flowmasters are. Sounds good when you punch it too.

Thanks for the advice guys. I had a flowmaster on my 1998 jeep cherokee (5.2 v8) and it was too loud, just made long drives less enjoyable for me.
