Exhaust options? (Wife hates current set up)

Ok so 07 2.4. Original exhaust trashed out.. replaced with headers, zip 3" ss down pipe and full 3" zip ss system.. had it for a little over a year, wife hates how loud the drone is...

What are some options to lessen the drone but keep some exhaust sound?

Maybe put in a real muffler and patch in a resonator.

The ZZP exhaust system can be ordered with or without the muffler and/or resonator. What setup is on the car now?

What would a shop use as a "factory replacement" for the 2 LT... The original muffler flowed rather well and was quite. Yeah it would need an adapter and it would cut your flow a tad, doubt you would notice the performance hit... Might quiet it down enough.
