Well, not exactly. You can fitt resonators (little straight through
mufflers) in any long pipe sections that will minimise the noise in the car
and also outside. If you only replace the OE muffler with a "performance"
unit, of course its going to be loud.

Most exhaust shops should be able to come up with something that works if
they are willing to be a bit creative. Some only want to fit std parts, so
ask around.
