I could be wrong in my thinking. But i believe most of your rasp and definitely the tinny sound, will come from having a catless front pipe. As long as you have a stock FP or high flow cat FP, I bet the sound will be less obnoxious. Then it would be a matter of picking a CBE to fit the sound profile you want.
However, this is my theory. But i am currently in the process of trying out a HFC FP to minimize the sound that i find annoying. I have had OFH, Tomei and ACE B350 headers on different BRZs. The header itself has never made the sound obnoxious. But the accumulative effect of catless header and catless FP is where you get more rasp, farty, tinny sounds. At least I hope thats true this time around.
In a few days will be sharing some audio files of the ACE B350 header w/ ACE catless FP. And then ACE Header w/ HFC invidia FP. Hopefully this will tame the sound (I'm pretty sure it will) and then i can still run STX if I so choose. Once I add the HFC FP, if the sound is not tinny obnoxious...I may even add a CBE myself. I like about 60% of the sound coming out of my car. I loathe the other 40%. I bet the catted FP will fix most of my sound issues. But the header performance can not be denied.
I will let you know soon.
