I'm fine with a quiet exhaust if the engine sounds good.
One reason I went aftermarket was to drown out the sound of gravel in a blender.
To Subaru's credit, I test drove a 2017 and to my ears it no longer sounded so much like a tractor. I think it could be a bit more sporty in the sense that I would like the engine to sound a bit more distinct at the top, rather than just being a louder version of the bottom.
