Axle/cat-back advice

Currently I'm running a Borla UEL, Perrin over-pipe, Tsudo HFC front-pipe stock mid and axleback. It's obnoxiously loud on cold startup (of course) but SPL once warm is acceptable from idle to WOT. The problem is that the sound, while decent, could be better. To that end I am posting this poll to help narrow down the best sounding yet not too loud axle/cat-back to go with my current exhaust setup. TIA

The stock mid-pipe, although decent, can be better by a straighter pipe and removing the resonator/replacing w/ smaller res. I'd opt for a catback to get a deeper note without being loud. I think the Q300 will best suite what you're looking for. Never been a fan of axleback as you'll end up spending more money if you decide to go full exhaust down the road.

Q300. I went with it and the Invidia catted front pipe because my UEL header is loud! This will keep it reasonable for me as a daily driver. The volume increases in this system as well, but not to levels of rasp/drone.
