Default Quietest to Loudest?

I am debating on selling/trading my exhaust for a quieter setup (or maybe back to stock).

Could you guys rank what would be the quietest to loudest?
OEM, Tanabe, Fujitsubo, Wald, F-Sport, Greddy and HKS

I keep hearing Tanabe and Fujitsubo are the quietest outside OEM.
Youtube just doesn’t do any justice in terms of sound.

For me Fujistubo is the quietest exhaust beside stock. You sometime dont realize it there and it never annoy even on inclines.

Quietest to loudest in my opinion would be stock, Fujitsubo, Tanabe, Greddy, F-Sport, Wald, and HKS. I originally had an Invidia Midpipe and HKS Hi-Power but still didn't think that was loud enough.

I'm thinking about getting an M2. I just cant see myself paying 700$ for an axle back. Does the M2 at least have a noticeable tone to it? I have my res deleted also.

^ With the resonator delete you've done, it'll have a noticeable tone over stock.

Looks like I am leaning towards the tanabe right now. Would you guys consider Wald to be on the louder side of the spectrum?

If you can find one used that is.

The HKS Hi-Power hangs the lowest. You can see half the muffler from the side almost. I'm lowered 1.4" and the exhaust tip barely clears most parking stumps when I back up into parking spots.
