I have TTS with stock cats and Akra center and C2S with JCR 200 cell cats + valves titanium center. I need to get them both up on a lift do a side by side and round robin so I can hear them all side by side next to stock.

You do know that aftermarket exhausts will all drone to some extent and some are actually worse than PSE, right? If you keep a valved system almost all will drop the drone with valves closed, so there's that.

No! I assume that since Soul exhausts specifically state in their description they address droning with their "x-pipe technology" that all other x-pipe exhausts will too. Do Soul exhausts actually address droning better than others like JRE and BRE?

I have BRE and can tell you I have a small amount of drone with the valves fully open at 2,000 rpm and 0 with valves closed. Even with valves open it doesn’t bother me unless I’m driving more than an hour on the highway. I keep mine open all the time on my work commute. I do have to close the valves to take phone calls or talk to a passenger without raising my voice.

BRE and JCR are muffler delete exhausts. Most of them will have some drone with valves fully open, especially when combined with downpipes. With stock valve programming you probably won’t have drone.

Given that this is the first aftermarket exhaust that I am purchasing, I spent time talking to a Lead Advisor (S Collective for those in Dallas). His recommended Soul but also gave a nod to Kline exhausts. Also did some online research searching for sound clips..unfortunately I was unable to find a good sound clip for BRE. And finally, used Claude by running a few prompts to help me decide. No wrong answer as everyone is looking for an exhaust that meets their needs.
- Kline → ultra-premium, F1-grade materials, high-pitched exotic tone
- Brook Exhaust → boutique/custom, typically louder & more raw
- Sound Performance (SP) → performance-focused, balanced daily + aggressive
