I have had the fabspeed street exhaust for about a year and it has been amazing with no drone, and a good difference from stock... but (and I know I might regret this later), I'm now looking for something a little louder.

I'm thinking-of either PSE / Soul or something similar sounding. If anyone knows of other options i should consider, or selling a used one please let me know.
I know that system quite well and I'd be happy to chat with you about some options and how they'd compare. Very nice car by the way

I can vouch for Soul Performance exhaust as I had them installed 2 years ago. Coincidentally, I just posted for feedback on headers.

Am I focusing on the wrong thing with the cat back and should be looking at headers instead?
Yes, race headers will give you power and the clearer, raspier, and louder exhaust note

I've got the Soul valved exhaust and it just rocks. Just like the PSE, you turn it on and off as the locale dictates. Just select which GDO switch in the overhead that you want to use and the fob goes away. After market genius.

I have the Soul street headers + PSE and it sounds lovely. I have a youtube clip of the sound floating around on her somewhere.
