Has anyone found an exhaust solution they absolutely love?

It's not too much; I had a quote a while ago but because the new superlight pipe came out I couldn't decide which one to get. Ended up getting wheels instead; I already knew which ones I wanted

Yes there is a very mild drone between 2k and 3k, I notice it when driving on the highway with top closed. When I open the top it disappears. If you are very sensitive to drone or it’s your daily driver go with the silenced race exhaust.

Doc, you are still running OEM GPF right?

Do you get the drone with the OEM valve controller, or valves disconnected?

Jonny posted actual noise readings in another message. The actual difference at full throttle between the JCR silenced and non-silenced valved exhaust is less than 1 dB. Sorry for posting bad information.
OEM 718 GT4 EXHAUST (EU) - 91.1dB
JCR TITANIUM SILENCED VALVED RACE PIPE - 94.5dB
JCR TITANIUM NON SILENCED VALVED RACE PIPE - 95.1dB
JCR TITANIUM SILENCED VALVED RACE PIPE / JCR TITANIUM OPF DELETE - 97.5dB
JCR TITANIUM NON SILENCED VALVED RACE PIPE / JCR TITANIUM OPF DELETE - 98.1dB
JCR TITANIUM SILENCED VALVED RACE PIPE / JCR TITANIUM OPF DELETE / JCR INCONEL RACE MANIFOLDS - 107.4dB
JCR TITANIUM NON SILENCED VALVED RACE PIPE / JCR TITANIUM OPF DELETE / JCR INCONEL RACE MANIFOLDS - 108.1dB
OEM 718 GT4 EXHAUST (EU) - 91.1dB
JCR TITANIUM SILENCED VALVED RACE PIPE - 94.5dB
JCR TITANIUM NON SILENCED VALVED RACE PIPE - 95.1dB

It seems like a resonated OAP would solve a lot of folks issues, and or persuade more people to make the jump into buying something. I know JCR has one, but due to the weak dollar it is expensive. With it, you can stay modular and just replace the inefficient restrictive GPF with a totally free flowing resonator. Free up the motor, increase responsiveness, add a few horsepower???, and add a little more flat-six sound without going overboard. I am sure there are a lot of people lurking here, but not necessarily making comments.
Porsche designed their two pathway exhaust with sound attenuation built into the PSE side with the GPF. It is no wonder that when you remove the GPF and not replace it with something else, that it becomes a bit too loud and or has an increase in drone. Don't get me wrong, I firmly believe the GPF needs to go. The question is, but in what manner. With a standard OAP, the exhaust goes through the cat and then straight pipe out. Yes there is a secondary muffled pathway, but what motivation do the exhaust gases have to pass through that narrow restrictive muffler when the primary exit is only a foot of larger pipe. So the vast majority of the exhaust flow bypasses the muffler and exists the car without any x-pipe mixing or sound attenuation.
A resonated OAP would free up the motor, provide some sound muffling, and maybe work better with some of the rear sections provided by some of our vendors on this site.

with valves disconnected, drone is slightly more present but not tiring. You can easily drive 3 hours on the highway without issues. Once you drop the top, drone disappears.
I can daily drive both settings without issue.
