Default Magnaflow Exhaust system wayy too loud. Need advice on what to change :)

Hey,
My car had the whole exhaust change from front-to-back not too long ago.
It was replaced with a Magnaflow Resonator and Muffler.

I find the sound to be way too loud and deep, especially between 1000 and 3000 rpm (Also, you know it's too loud when your almost sweating next to a police car and shifting at ... 1500 rpms with the cops still starring at you).

Now, since i'm on a budget, and I can't get the whole system replaced again.
I need to know which one would be Best to have the Most "Stock" Sound as possible.

Should I replace the Resonator, Muffler or can i add another resonator?
My goal is to have Stock Sound As Possible..

Any help and guidance would be appreciated
*it's an a4 1999.5, 1.8T (AEB), Quattro..

That sucks man. Thats why I went with the Borla system over Magnaflow. Did you keep your stock exhaust?

I didn't keep anything from the old exhaust system -_-'

Could I just change the resonator Or Muffler do have something as close as Stock??
How does the borla exhaust sound?

Last time I got pulled over by a cop for exhaust noise(about 5-6 years ago), I took the car to one of those exhaust measure facilities place and after checking on the exhaust noise. My measurement was 2-3 decibel lower than the limit. Fought and won the ticket, so you may want to give that a try next time you get a ticket for the exhaust :P

I have full exhaust with Magnaflow center resonator and end exhaust. Kind of get used to the noise by now. Though I think if I were to change, it would be to change the exhaust to another brand's.
