Question exhaust question

my planned mods for sound are takeada intake, and for the exhaust I'm not too keen on buying expensive exhaust systems,
i don't want the car to be loud when cruising but give it a nice loud side when accelerating.
i was thinking of doing just a resonator delete while keeping the stock mufflers and also adding a custom h pipe
where the resonators were to prevent a raspy noise as i don't like the raspy sporty sound id rather a deeper tone

i've spoken to someone whos done this and they have said it fits my needs but they were unable to give me any sound clip
just wondering if anyone has done or has an opinion about it

Welcome. Which IS model are you specifically working with?

Not sure what model you have, but my 2019 IS350 fsport has a Remark Axelback exhaust and it has a really nice sound when reving (between 2,500-3,500 rpm), but when i'm just cruising its quiet.
