Default Choosing an exhaust—new ap1

Hi! I've just come into a new (to me) ap1, and I'm trying to figure out which exhaust would be best for me, given that I'm set on changing from the stock soon enough. I hope this doesn't seem like it's beating a dead horse—I have gone through most of the exhaust threads but I guess I was looking for a more specific response for my situation: I previously owned an ap2 with a Greddy Gotuning SE, and I loved that sound, but it was admittedly a little droney around 3-4. I liked that it was loud and was fairly rumbly, but I think I'd ideally like something that's a little quieter down low. I'm not laboring under the delusion that there are any substantive power gains to be had from doing this—I'm aware it's mostly aesthetic (for the sound, more than the look), and I'm really happy with nearly everything stock about the S anyway, power and otherwise.

Anyway, from what I've read and heard (on youtube) it seems like the HKS Hi-Power, the T1R Sparrow, and the Greddy SE are probably the best options? Looking for a dual tip definitely, and I'd love something that up top sounds closer to the urge/gernby system but doesn't cost as much haha—hopefully something that's on the throatier rather than the raspier side, and dense/full bodied sounding (if that's a relatable description for an exhaust sound).

So I guess I'm wondering if anyone can speak to this and to which would be ideal—I had also read somewhere that certain exhausts on the ap2 might not be droney but might drone on the F20 (not sure if this is true) and drone is generally something I'm looking to avoid I think.

Cheers!

Have u considered the greddy se v2 dual (resonated and revised mufflers vs the older v1)? If not I'd go either either a legalis r or tanabe medallion dual. I will admit that climbing a freeway uphill at about 70mph in 6th the se v2 does have a buzz to it. Other than that, at constant throttle there is 0 drone at any mph.

You are and there are hundreds of threads on this in the past few weeks even. Many go back 17 years. Read the late ones at least.
