That's exactly how I felt with my 2 cars with exhausts in them.my g35 was so fun but on the way home would wear on me when I'm trying to relax after a hard day on the way home. I went with a tanabe medallion on my GS and ended up taking it off because of the drone. Again , I am tempted, but realize that the definition of insanity is repeating the same action but still expecting different results lmao

Frustrating because I loved looking for tunnels or canyons to run through to let the beast roar. What I have learned through years and years of tuning cars is there is usually a negative and you use the luxury component of our cars far more than the sport ( and I track my ISF ) . The oem set up is not always the fastest but it's usually best overall .

My friend Bret's car has Sikky/Joe Z with no cats and when I rode in it there was much less drone than my Joe Z no harder car. I'm adding PPE headers in the next 2 weeks and am gonna go with magnaflow cats also just to tone down the volume a bit and take out risk of gas fumes since my daughter will be born next month and will be riding in my car from time to time

You folks that don't like the drone may want to look into the new PPE dual mode exhaust system. Sound and drone when you want it, and a stock like sound when you don't. It truly is a dual purpose exhaust. I'm very pleased with mine.

Honestly, borla/ppe headers sounds about perfect for what I was looking for. Very very tame just cruising and aggressive when you want it to be.

I personally don't have an aversion to loud exhausts, and have a greater tolerance than most, but I feel it needs to complement the car. With this car being a bit more refined, and more what I'd consider "sport luxury". I personally didn't want something overly loud in the cabin to detract from that.

Wow..that run at the 3 minute mark sounds amazing,

Took you about 6-7 seconds to get from about 15 mph in 1st gear to about 97 mph at the end of 3rd. Sick.

Cronic maybe sometime we can meet up at a show so I can check out your set up. I would love to add some noise but not go nuts. Do you ever hit Pavillions or Cars and coffee in your ISF

My car arrived with Borla when I had purchased it last week, just ordered the black PPE headers & should be arriving within 2 weeks. The Borla is little bit louder than stock when I had compared it to another stock F model but after hearing sound clips on youtube this seems to be the more subtle way to go.
