GSF Exhaust options

Just rethinking and now considering to wait and go with a full system. The NOVEL is the BEST sounding (sounds like a V10) however it is the MOST expensive. Seriously $11K for a full system?
The TOMS Full titanium system looks pretty interesting as well and its half the price of a NOVEL, but not so sure of how it sounds.
This maybe a long shot, but for anyone that has installed the NOVEL system on their GSF. Is it possible to get the same sound by just installing the NOVEL headers only? Or does the sound primarily influenced by the Cat back version? Trying to see if getting the headers or Cat back would get me the same sound as a Full system.

if i were you i would not get the greddy system it is a waist of money. My buddy with his gsf got the axle back and i heard it multiple times and its so disappointing!!! its only just a tad bit louder then stock, so little difference between the two that if the greddy didn't look different then the stock i would never know he had a axle back on his car.
i did a muffler delete on my car and it sound ****en *****in
here are some video clips
stock exhaust https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frpJtm1Dvl0

First off, your GSF YouTube Videos are awesome! I’ve watched all of them and found them very insightful! One of your videos showcases the muffler delete job you had. From what I can hear, it sounds amazing and wayyy better than these $1500+ exhaust systems out there. I’m thinking about doing the same thing but have a couple questions before I pull the trigger. 1) Does the car drone at cruisinspeeds 45, 60, and 70 mph? And 2) If your phone is hooked up to Bluetooth, when you talk to people, can they hear the exhaust in the background? I’m constantly on phone calls for work and use the Bluetooth a lot, but am worried the deeper note will be too loud for phone calls. 3) what size pipes did you use- 2’, 2.5’, or 3’ in?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Anthony

Anybody here have the Tanabe Touring Medalion ? I think it sounds nice in this video clip.
Slightly more aggressive than stock and made by a company that is known for quality products.

I've listed to them all and NONE of the exhaust systems come anywhere close to the NOVEL....

I am considering getting an Exhaust for my GSF. Do not have the funds for a FULL system (Headers, MidPipe & Exhaust) so hoping to do this in three parts. Thinking of starting with the Cans, then mid pipe and last headers (as they are the most expensive)
Would like to get some input/opinions from others members so I know what my options are (without breaking the bank) and the best way to go.
I do not mind Mixing and Matching parts (Exhaust/Mid Pipe/Headers) as long as they all fit. From looks perspective i like the Oval Factory tips and would like to retain a similar look (Do not like round tips)

Drone: very subjective. It does have a drone for sure but for some reason, my GS F drone doesn't bother me. My wife has an Escalade that I had a Magnaflow muffler put on and that drone will drive you up the wall.
