UEL Header + Axle Back Muffler --> everything else stock

Hey there,

So I have a Tomei UEL header on my car, but everything else is stock.

I'm toying with the idea of getting a Borla axle back muffler to bring out some of the rumble. Why axle back? Because I don't want the car to be obnoxiously loud, so not really feeling a full catback and definitely not a muffler delete.

Question -- does anyone else have this setup? That is, UEL header + axle back, but stock over pipe, front pipe, mid pipe. If yes, please let me know your feedback on overall sound, raspiness, pros/cons, regrets, etc.

Thank you!

This is my current configuration. It sounds great on the outside, barely any rasp. But there's a lot of drone in the cabin.

I think as long as you have the factry front pipe and mid pipe, anything even a muffler delete shouldn't be too obnoxious.
