Default Joe Z drone nosie vs stock exhaust

For those of you who have Joe Z axle back exhausts with stock mid-pipes. Just curious to know how significant is the Joe Z drone noise vs stock exhaust? At what RPMs is it most noticeable? For now, I cant seem to justify paying $1100 + for the F-sport exhaust.

Thanks in advance.

On the contrary also

Does anyone have a sound clip of stock exhaust with a aftermarket midpipe?

you can tell there is drone noise around 2000 rpm to 2500 rpm at high gear. At 4500 rpm I can hear my Fsport intake.

Do your own homework kids. Here's a build of my pal on CL

Not a fan of the Joe Z exhaust. Sounds pretty bad, lots of drone.
For almost the same price you could just go custom setup, better bang for your buck and you'll never be upset.
