OP, not sure if I mentioned in my response to your PM or not, but x-pipes change the sound of the muffler completely. Having said that, there's a good chance it can still sound good though!

Why not just delete secondaries if it doesn't work out? Donnie's car sounds amazing right now.

I also have a mastermind race I could switch up to for a little more volume but not sure how drone will be affected.

The eisenmann race with catless x pipe sounded phenomenal...snapped, not turned, heads everywhere I went but this set up is the cleanest sound ive heard. I almost bought an IPE F1 (because its valved) but to me i couldnt get past how cheap it sounded to me. And yes ive heard it in person and just always got the feeling that the tone was just overly loud but had nothing going for it other than rasp.
That's my current setup right now. I'm shocked at how tame it is under 3k RPM's. When you want more noise, step on the loud pedal and the sound is just amazing. The looks I get when I drive by people eating outside at restaurants = priceless.

Having said that, I can totally understand having a baby would make you switch to Akra, I prob would too. This weekend, we had catless Eisenmann Race, catless Megan and Akra Evo at my house and the Evo was by far the most civilized (while still sounding good).

P.S. I do have the 2 OEM resonators left on there though, so mine might not be quite as loud as yours was.
