Thinking on changing my FI exhaust

I like this exhaust a lot but sometimes when I want to drive slow (55-65 mph) the droning inside the cabin is loud. Iám thinking putting back the stock exhaust to minimize sound and only changing the mufflers and the y connector.
The power made by the FI is great and it feels torquier.

I like impul mufflers but they are extremely expensive.
The tanabe setup looks good but only the japanese version has an oval tip.

What options do I have ??

Thank's to all

It is really quieter than the stillen or other brands, really. It is just me that miss the quieter sound of stock.

You will love it, really.

My wife misses the stock sound, especially when I first start the car in the garage every morning...wow.
There is a little drone, but the secret is to keep a light foot when cruising. Give the car any gas though and the exhaust comes to life.

I custom installed Magnaflow 14225 mufflers out back & I love them.
It's a much deeper & richer tone, w/o drone of any kind.
IMO this what the OEM sport should have sounded like.
I also stayed with oval tips to keep it looking close to OE.

My recommendation is to put your stock exhaust back on! Package the FI exhaust back up, send it to me for testing. I will provide my full report in approx. 3-5 yrs. If this does not work, put the stock exhaust back on, and PM titan as requested! Lastly, if neither option appeals to you, I suggest driving your car faster There are no other options!!!

This is surprising! This is the first I have heard of droning. This is the exact reason why we went with dual 2.25" instead of 2.5"

However, sound is subjective and I understand that some people will notice and tolerate more then others.

I have noticed on the sedan with HFC's (only on the automatics) a drone. Now for me it wasn't something that was unbearable but to next guy it might be!

I was thinking of going this route but I was worried I would lose back pressure causing me to lose some power in the low end. Did you notice any difference?

Well....let me reitirate on that....i didnt notice any low end loss....but i had a definite increase in mid and top end power as well as added sound. The car just felt like a rocket when it hit that 1-2 shift and even on the 2-3 shift from a stop.
