Where to get a Silencer?

I am unfamiliar with exhaust systems and I want to get the Alta downpipe and I have a magnaflow muffler. Although I hate drone and I don't want it to be to loud. I have friends in the car a lot yet I still really want to have a fast car. Is a silencer what I need? Do I have any options? Any help would be appreciated. If you have any questions I can clarify more if you nee me to.

A resonator is what you need.

Basically it reduces the sound level of the exhaust.

a silencer is essentially the same thing as the resonator, which is just another form of a muffler.

I've got the factory turbo resonator I took off my 2008 MCS four days ago. It has 60 miles on it. I'm on the left coast, you can have it - just pay shipping.

I noticed you have a magnaflow mufller, so why not use one of their resonators. Do a search on google and several online stores will come show.

One that I can remember off the top of my head was performancepedler.com,
they have some pretty cheap stuff.
