Exhaust !
Just picked up a VERY nice used Corsa Extreme Catback.... Question is if I swap it out in place of my modded Ti's and add a set of headers, will it too LOUD ???

Kinda funny... meet this guy at a car show... older gent (didn't even think it was his car, pretty stereotypical on my part) anyhow, after talking a bit I asked him if he'd start his car so I could hear it... straight exhaust no cats, no mufflers... D A M N it was LOUD... everybody at the show stopped what they were doing to look and see WTH just happened... and of course he had to rev her up a few times... he was REALLY proud of it.
But, he had no issue what so ever, didn't think it was too loud at all...
He may have been partially or possibly TOTALLY deaf but, hey, who am I to judge. SO your right subjective is the word for the day

And I keep hearing that about the Ti's.... maybe I'll put the headers on with the Ti's and see what it sounds like. If I like what I hear, probably sell the Corsa's.

I just did this switch and couldn't be happier. The stock Ti cat back was way too quiet and to me nothing "amazing and exotic" about it which most people claim. I love the corsa xtreme with long tubes and no cats. It's definitely loud, but you'll have to determine what's too loud for you. It could be louder, but I wouldn't want it any quieter
Corsa will be heavier and cost a decent amount for no performance gain, but I got $400 for my stock cat back in like a week after taking it off and for sound alone, great mod!

I'm thinking of selling my modded Ti's for around $450 - $475. The bypass mod really does make a difference in the sound vs stock Ti's. But we'll see what the weekend brings when I make the change.

I believe Neutron82 is running a setup very similar to the one you're shooting for, though I believe he has heads/cam upgrades also. Hopefully he'll chime in and let you know his thoughts. I think I'm leaning towards the bypass mod for my Ti exhaust, or possibly electric cutouts. Gotta keep it under control sometimes for the lady.

This is the kind of stuff I like to hear. I have a set of headers with high flow cats that I'm installing as well.
