Default Exhaust note recommendation

Looking for an exhaust recommendation, I have tsp long tubes, off road x pipe, and npp exhaust, and I think it sounds like ****, what would you guys recommend, switching to a catted x pipe? Or axle back exhaust? I'm thinking axle back but most I've heard are catted in front of it, no prime examples of off road x pipes
I'm starting to get tired of the way it is now
Thanks

I enjoy loud, but when it sounds like a Harley with a fart can on it something has to change is that car under water in that video?

I agree, I'm putting the xpipe from my corsa kit back on. I'm going to quieter mufflers for sure, the car has a raspy high pitched sound.

I have ARH long tube headers (1-7/8"), catless X pipe, and NPP exhaust. Everyone who hears my car says that it sounds bada$$.

I have the same exhaust set-up. Sounds deadly. 100% satisfied with that sound and I've only gotten compliments.

In videos I think it sounds great, when I get buddy to do a drive by I have mixed feelings, I think it can sound better, has a weird ring to it, I have got compliments on it, but aswell as the opposite
