If you want a quiet catback then go with the SLP dual/dual.

Anyone who knows anything about engines is going to hear a big cam at any idle speed. Do you want to mask the cam, or just tone down the exhaust? Masking will be difficult, if not impossible, and toning down the exhaust will require re-thinking the exhaust system and living with some performance compromises from the true-dual set-up. High flow dual cats, through 3" piping and an SLP totl cat-back would be a mellow example that may help mask the cam a bit too.

Re: Quieting Cammed Car
Ok guys Great info, let me ask you this then, I am getting FastChips (ED Wright) to program car on the dyno, THROUGH TUNING only with no raising Idle, would that help smooth the cam? How much of tuning helps cam sound.
I guess you can say I am trying to mask the cam, I want a sleeper on the street but I want the same power that I would have at theTrack, is that understandable.

Your request is understandable, but probably not achievable. A big cam is just not stealthy.
