OEM mod + test pipes being a more cost effective way of achieving sound with power gains, yet maybe giving up some quality.
I just looked at that video again. That driver doesn't reach the RPM range when it's really really raspy, which is 3500-4000 RPM.

IMO, you can be cost effective and get good sound. Just go Megan or buy a used exhaust. Yea they are a couple of hundred bucks more, but that's the way to go I think.
+1 for Megan.

I have MS test pipes with Megan axle back and it is INCREDIBLE. No drone, sounds mean as hell and doesn't get annoying ever and I'm not a noise junky. Only time it is ridiculously loud is at cold start, but that doesn't bother me.
