As far as your overall sound; I don't think any set up is gonna be too loud at idle for you other than maybe a cold start. I've had a longtube, no cats, muffler delete set up and now run longtubes, no cats, and the SW retro catback. Neither of them are loud at idle other than cold start. Even then it's not bad. Under 2000 RPM's they give a nice deep growl. After that it does wake up quite a bit. Sound is all interpretation though, what I think sounds good or not loud may be 180 degrees from what you think. If I was a betting man though, regardless of what set up you go with, nothing is gonna be too loud for at idle unless you cam the car So unless you have NPP (I don't remember if you do or not) I would have to agree with Christian a bit, might as well just remove the stock suitcases, I honestly don't think you would be unhappy with it. Especially if you went with a company that offers set ups with mufflers still included like some flowmaster, Borla, magnaflow, etc do.

YouTube is your friend! Just search around and see what you like. I know not all videos are of the best audio quality, but there are usually multiple people with each set up so you can get a pretty good idea. Best of luck with whatever you decide and remember, nothing is permanent!
Buddy, i already have a Corsa Xtreme catback system, i just wont use it for now until i get another car as my DD and keep my maro as my "weekend" car so to speak cuz currently it is my DD and honestly why i want it to be near stock at idle sound wise is because of the cops, where im from you dont get tickets, you get your car impounded and lots of BS just for a little catback ... and we have random police checkpoints everywhere through my area, so i wanna avoid all this fuss and headache yet enjoy a little bit of my 6.2, thus my question.
