Hey everyone, I am having difficulty choosing between a muffler delete or a catback exhaust system.

My ultimate goal for now is to strive for that deep, refined, non raspy, boxer rumble sound.

I plan on eventually going for a UEL catted header from ft86speedfactory+aftermarket overpipe in the long run.
and maybe a hi-flow catted front pipe or, a catless front pipe.

I am pretty sure I am going to keep everything NA and not FI due to finances for at least a couple years.

I am looking at the BERK duel tip muffler delete for the muffler delete
for catbacks, i am looking at the perrin resonated catback, nameless catback w/4" muffler or no muffler.

my question is, the aftermarket midpipe that catback systems have, are they that big of an upgrade to the stock overpipe? Not so much in the aspect of performance or gains but just sound. Do aftermarket midpipes via catback systems offer better sound than just the stock midpipe?
If i went with the duel tip muffler delete, would the sound be about the same with the stock midpipe compared to the aftermarket midpipe for the muffler delete?
The stock midpipe has a resonator if i am not mistaken, do majority of aftermarket midpipes have a resonator too? i'd imagine a midpipe w/o a resonator would be extremely raspy and not refined

What I can afford now is the muffler delete from berk as it is the most cost efficient, but i am afraid it might be too loud when the time comes to get the aftermarket header, overpipe, and front pipe.


thanks
