What's everyone's consensus on this? Should I go with a resonated (catless) front pipe, resonated and catted front pipe, or catted (unresonated) front pipe? Part of me, after listening to @DocWalt 's exhaust set up with the JDL Ultra Quiet Front Pipe, wants to buy the JDL UQ Front Pipe but am afraid that it'd still be a bit quiet with my exhaust set up. The other part of me wants to buy the catted front pipe, but I've read that unresonated front pipes, especially for this platform, will yield rasp and that's the last thing I'd ever want. So right now I'm in a dilemma haha. Either way more likely than not, JDL will get my business at the end of the day once I figure something out; I'll probably order an over pipe while I'm at it as well haha.

Here's how my current exhaust set up sounds:

It sounds pretty good outside of the car but in cabin, I can barely hear anything (which is great for the daily commute but I do want to hear some sort of grunt--not drone pls). Even when accelerating, while it does sound pretty good, I feel like it's not "loud" enough lol.

man that sounds real good, but if you do replace the front pipe make sure to get one with a resonator (or two).
