I think the biggest determining factor would be the muffler. I think there are exhaust setups out there that sound very clean, classy, and quiet with primary cat deletes. Akrapovic, Evolve Automotive, and Supersprint are the three that come to mind that are all high-end top quality systems, but in no way do they sound harsh or overly aggressive.
I agree, the only thing is that the akra is bit to quite for me. My friend had a challenge race and akra and it was quite, but ALOT of drone. I agree the exhaust will refine the sound, and there are ALOT of different setups. (I have been through so many)
