Exhaust advice for deep rumble but not too loud

The video unfortunately doesn’t convey how deep it sounds at lower rpms:

I had the SP on my previous '14 WRX and loved it minus a warped flange. Does your system have the stamped flanges or the solid ones?

I thought about replacing my Corsa with the Greddy, but went with the Fujitsubo axle back instead.

I have the axelback version from Japan so I can either keep the oem midpipe or get an aftermarket from Works.

The picture isn't loading but I think I've seen them on Greddy's site.

After reading the following thread I'm starting to lean towards the 2.5in resonated perrin. Thoughts?

Just remember a resonated front pipe to match.

Honestly for a daily I wouldn’t touch the front pipe. Do the catback first and break it in, most get a bit louder after a few heat cycles.

Corsa has a really deep and gentlemanly rumble

Corsa Has a very livable setup with the rest of the exhaust system stock.

Loud enough on throttle, hardly noticeable near stock at cruise. No drone, plus a lifetime warranty. Sound profile should never change which isn't the case for many fiberglass packed muffler setups. It's not a Base-y setup, more of a growl.

Perrin 2.5" is a subtle deep tone. Good future proof option should you decide to go catless later. It doesn't really rumble though with factory headers.

This is the PLM UEL, stock overripe, HKS dual Res Front pipe and my stock TRD singletip axleback exhaust. Drones less than the stock front pipe did, still drones. It's bearable and quiet at idle but really opens up when I lay into it. Stays deep sounding below 3k RPMs cruising. I only know that because I like tunnels

I wanted something with a mature sound yet civil for daily driving and without any drone for long trips. I have the Lachute Performance catback (and full line) with the long resonator version, and it is perfect for my needs. I can drive it for hours even with the backseat down without any fatigue, and has a nice deep sound. Not sure it would be readily available in your area, but I thought I’d mention it, its a very high quality hand made exhaust, warranteed for life. I’ll see if I can get a sound clip.

Cheers

I recommend going to a car meet and hear it in person and decide accordingly.

The very best solution would be to find the most respected exhaust fabricator (not fitter) in town, the older the better, and ask him what he could make for you that can get close to exactly what you want.
With the right expertise ,it won't be the cheapest option, but it will be much better than anything bought off the shelf.
I should have done it from square one:
