Topic: cb400f exhaust question

[jude0007]

I have a 75 cb400f that I ride while I work on some of my other projects.  The PO put a different exhaust end on the original exhaust.  I really liked it at first but it's gotten to be too loud and too obnoxious.

I'm looking for something that looks decent, is a little quieter while not being too quiet and not overly expensive (not over ~$50).

Here's about what I have on now: http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-exhaust-parts-15-inch-shorty-cherry-bomb-muffler-80-45700.html

I really liked the look of this but the reviews basically say they're still obnoxiously loud: http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-exhaust-parts-17-inch-reverse-cone-megaphone-muffler-80-84030.html

Would using the existing muffler with some high density muffler packing help?  I can't seem to find what people's opinions are using that to silence exhaust.  http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-exhaust-parts-high-density-fiberglass-muffler-packing-pp-120.html

Appreciate anyone's input.
