Is there such a thing. I did about 220 miles today on a mixture of roads, mostly very rural. In the process, I was struck by how loud my full Akrapovič system is.

It snarles when I wind it on, pops loudly when I change up and gargles on the overrun. I still have the baffles in the can, as well.

Maybe something a bit more discreet might be in order.
 
Put the oe headers back on.
Mine pops but is subtle even with the baffles out.
The OH’s however sounds like a Stuka on a bombing run!
Id be happy to consider something if you don’t have the oe headers
 
Lextek are good, I have one fitted to my 2008 hexhead without the baffle, it's not offencive in any way, just a slightly deeper note and the odd pop when changing gear or on the overrun.
Reasonable price as well
 
I found the standard can perfect on its own with no other changes. If touring the last thing you want is a loud pipe droning in your ears for 6 hours a day.
 
Indeed, it was just that the answers that were "wrong" :ROFLMAO:
 
One person's "inconsequential" is another's fair comparison though. We can only speak from our own experience. I guess the suggestion and a fair answer to the question is "what is wrong with the stcock exhaust?" as it would seem to offer what you want? That or explore keeping the stock oe headers as suggested in post #2 or indeed the Akra headers and stock exhaust?

No. Read the question. I didn't ask for opinions about other options.

Q. Is there a quieter aftermarket exhaust can?

A. If yes, then please tell me. If no, then please exit without further comment.

Thank you.

Yes there is a quieter after market exhaust system

Arrogance will not encourage those who were genuinely trying to be helpful. YES there's a number of quieter after market cans.
 
If you want precision, then a number of people have answered "yes there is".
You didn't ask them to tell you what they were.
And you are showing arrogance (I am aware we are known as tossers, but try to play it down)
