What are you looking to get out of the exhaust? If you just want a sound adjustment, I definitely support an axle back. If you're looking for power, a catback is the last place you want to be.
Best setup in my opinion - Catless headers, factory exhaust except muffler delete. Even without the muffler delete and stock catback, it sounds decent if you just change the headers. |

Just something mild, deep not loud when cruising no drone, sounds nice at high RPM’s I daily my car and got some sensitive neighbours so yenno don’t want to be super loud
My car is fully stock I don’t plan to add headers anytime soon but it can change down the road |

Based on OP's comments, Borla Touring is an easy, good way to go. I'm happy with mine. It is significantly louder than stock on cold start-up, so your neighbors might not love you, but otherwise it suits your criteria perfectly. Here's mine: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDYm1dYENwA[/ame] |

I have one, slant-cut tips look great and still super quiet, even at WOT (intake is louder than the exhaust from the cabin).
I only bought it because I got a great deal on it, otherwise I would've gone Nameless axleback but I'm happy with the Borla.

I have high flow filter in addition to Borla Touring and it made the in-cabin intake sound pretty loud. I plugged up the sound tube and it sounds way better now. Only hear the exhaust in cabin and not much of it below 4k rpm.

I have it and sounds great with windows down. With windows up much lower sound but still hear it there. Sometimes I wish It was a tad louder. I would have picked up the nameless but got a decent deal on the borla.

No that's a muffler delete. As in much louder than Borla Touring. The muffled version on their site is sold with a pipe and is $1k Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
