Default Exhaust help

Here is my setup.. sounds like bees going wild when i accelerate

2.5 mandrel bend kteller
carsound cat
magnaflow muffler
kamikase header
resonator(about 12 inch)

It sounds fine at idle, but when i get on it.. it is way to damn loud. Even at 3k, its too loud for my tastes. Someone else had the same EXACT setup except with 2.5 crush tubing, and it sounded nice. Any ideas on how to get it to not sound like crap? Help me out.. I just want to sell the car now instead of being seen in a fart cannon.

It has a complete buzzing sound now, when in vtec. And whenever i accelerate more than just slightly, that thing echo's everywhere. I feel sorry for the people in the toll booth when i had to push on the gas

I would really like just a stock sounding exhaust.. which I thought I could achieve with this, but ~900 later.. I sound like I did initially with a stock exhaust and a tennis ball sized hole in the muffler.

The only thing suggested so far is a turbo muffler. One that has chambers to eliminate sound or whatever. They also said that magnaflow arent great ones for our cars.. woulda been nice to know earlier.

So Im up in the air about trying the turbo muffler, or just selling it all, and buying something that is just like stock... crush bend, a few resonators, and some kinda stock muffler. Possibly even downgrading to the stock header again if thats what needs to be done. I got a headache today driving the car on the highway, and I dont like unneeded attention.

Any help greatly appreciated. If you are interested in the setup... you can call dibs if i get rid of it(50% chance right now)
