Default Best exhaust with aftermarket headers?

Hey guys, so I've been looking on youtube and trying to find some forums on here with a clean sounding exhaust with PPE headers. I recently had my OBX headers (got them for $50 brand new ) installed which are basically knockoffs of PPE, but I'm not too happy with how it sounds. I found some videos with the F-sport, joe-z, and hks but they all seem a but raspy.
I ran them with my invidia midpipe and hks... kinda raspy
I ran them with my invidia midpipe and straight pipe... Crazy loud and sounded like a lawnmower on steroids
So If anyone has a thread, or has any videos could you share them please!

Try a megan midpipe or get some resinators welded back in. May help. Can you post a video of your setup?

PPE headers, Megan mid pipes, and an F-sport exhaust is my choice. I've got the headers, just don't have the $1500 for the rest.

I dont have a clip because my phone keeps cutting off the exhaust when i rev lol. But these 2 are basically how it sounds with my setup right now, only difference with mine and the videos is my takeda intake.

The second clip doesn't sound terrible. But I would start with resinators or the megan mids. They will take some of that rasp out for sure.
