IYO What is the deepest, NON raspy, not TOO loud, sounding exhaust?

I know this is all subjective and well after hearing different clips I'm just wondering in what direction should I head, FI is a good system, no doubt, not only is it good quality but it sounds awesome, i'm looking for something deep, semi quiet, and less than $1400 for a FULL cat-back system.
I know fuji is not full cat-back but if you buy the system and the y-pipe it comes to about $1500...

HKS is not raspy at all with stock cats, but it is more high pitched and not very deep sounding. It is loud, but not in an annoying way.

i just finished installing the hks sport muffler on my '04 6mt sedan. it sounds awesome. nice, deep sound that is only really audible at idle and WOT. no drone, mildly louder than stock.

HKS muffler vs coupe cat-back exhaust is totally different - and I've never heard an HKS that I thought sounded anything but raspy and/or too loud and/or too ricey on a coupe
