Quietest Headers with the US TRD catback?

I have the US trd catback and I wanted to try get some rumble out without increasing the volume of the exhaust too much. Would the FT86SF UEL Catted headers be the only option for me? Does anyone know of someone who tried this combo?

I have listened to the OFH +TRD catback on youtube and that sounds good, but I am worried it might piss off too many neighbors.

All aftermarket headers delete the factory header heatshields. This makes all of them louder than stock.

Next up in quietness would be a catted UEL like the Ft86speedfactory catted UEL or really any other catted UEL.

You might be able to slightly reduce the noise by wrapping the header.

I have a Q300, so factor in that in what I say, but I have a ceramic coated JDL UEL (non catted), and the car is maybe 10-15% louder than stock. It is absolutely perfect in sound level and absolutely zero drone. It sounds absolutely incredible, and eliminated my torque dip while increasing power throughout the rpm range it feels like. Overall the car feels a good bit quicker, and with no torque dip, it's fantastic.

Also, the ceramic coating reduces engine bay temps vs stock header. I'm on my phone, but there's a post around here that compares ceramic coated to stock, and it was a big difference in under hood temps.
