Best catbacks to pair with catless header

Hi guys. I’m looking to buy a catback or axle back for my 2017 MT BRZ. I used to have a custom muffler delete which tbh pleased me volume wise with drone being tolerable. Now I have tomei catless uel headers, and ofc muffler delete became obnoxious. So I got my oem muffler installed back. Now I feel like my car is stock and miss the sound I had with muffler delete and stock headers. So.. in your experience, which catback or axle back would give me a volume close to muffler delete + stock headers? I’ve been oriented to q300, r400, Greddy supreme sp, Perrin 2.5 (discontinued) and the new dc sports axle back.

Just be careful. Many will be too loud so pick a quieter one.

CSG touring is quiet but can give you options to play with front pipe.

I've got EL header paired with Catted/resonated front pipe and is perfect volume for me on the daily. Toss rear seats down its perfect amount of volume for me.

The csg looks like a really good option. So far I’m leaning towards dc sport axleback cause of price and how easy it would be to swap back to oem for the annual inspection.

I have an MXP Comp RS with mine and its a delightful symphony to the ears, you get the nice deep Subie rumble but its not obnoxious, fairly loud under WOT, but settles down when cruising. Loudness is subjective, but it truly isn’t overboard sound wise.

I have a Werks free-flow cat front pipe behind a Borla header. The Werks gives me a nice throaty growl but not overly loud. There's some drone but I guess I've gotten used to it. it's much louder for the first few seconds after I start it, but then the volume drops. I'm very happy with it. I've had two actually, which I bought used. The first one had the cat come loose and rattle making a lot of noise so I picked up another one. That combination, coupled with my Phantom electric supercharger, gives the car a significant performance boost. I've gone back to 93 octane from E 85 because the 85 was so hard to come by in my area. With the set up I have, I do very well with 93.
