Yeah hard to say since everyone has different opinions on sound volume and drone etc. One mans quiet is another mans loud.
Eventually everyone ends up getting sport cats and an exhaust!

I had PSE, then sport cats, then sport cats with valves opened. Then back to stock. Then to Akra muffler. Next up is Akra sport cats with Akra muffler. The Akra was the game changer. The sport cats were not. With cold start delete I think the full Akra will be the magic ticket.
Sport cats were a 10-15% increase in volume with the same sound.
The valve open mod was annoying to me at low RPM and I went back to factory logic within a week of trying that out. It droned pretty bad.
The Akra muffler is 20% louder than stock under normal idle and 25% louder after 4000rpm using factory valve logic. Cold start is 50% louder than stock or more. Cold start delete is recommended with the Akra muffler. I think adding a sport cat to the Akra muffler will be mandatory cold start delete as it will add 10-15% additional volume.
In my opinion the PSE system is a decent system but the tone is just a little subdued and doesn’t have the bark or tone that a titanium system can give. The volume is simply too low at all levels as well.
