Try the Tsudo Midpipe. One of the cheaper options and it sounds good. Here's a video of it paired with a Q300 axel-back.

1. As far as I know, the axle back is the sound whereas the mid pipe is primarily air flow

2. It would be difficult to remove the secondary cats and get zero drone since that's what a mid pipe does
