Default HKS 75mm to Greddy SE dual

Been contemplating about switching from my HKS 75mm to a Greddy SE dual. My main reason for probably wanting to do this is because I'm getting tired of looking at the single exit exhaust for an AP2 rear. Another thing that bothers me is the fact this exhaust (from the cabin) almost sounds borderline ricey for me (thought I had the same exhaust as the EK that drove by me with his loud exhaust).

Of course, the drone/ annoying rattle / vibration coming from the exhaust at 2800-3000 RPMs bothers me a lot. Compared to the SE Dual, a lot of people mention no drone and the tone of the exhaust is manageable with throttle input. Someone even mentioned that the car sounded like an exotic with a test pipe.

I hate saying it, but I don't even want to say I felt that much of a difference from my butt dyno comparing it to the stock exhaust. Don't get me wrong, the exhaust sounds mean as hell downshifting and has a nice deep tone; but I might be happier with a dual set-up that sounds even better... more specifically the Greddy SE dual. Maybe I'll install a Berk 70mm HFC and all of this will be a thing of the past, I'm just looking at getting suggestions.

Hate posting up something negative about something that may be praised as something really good. Maybe it's just the alcohol in me talking and being negative. Suggestions as always are helpful.

Thanks

No useful suggestions from me but that's the exact same set up i'm going for. Greddy SE + HFC. I've only ready good things about it. And the tone is not to loud, raspy or ricey.

I've heard a couple different dual exhausts personally, and i like the way my HKS sounds better than all of them.

I've heard greddy ti-c and greddy se, i've heard tanabe duals, and i definitely prefer how mine sounds. And honestly, so do they

I love my dual greddy ti-c with test pipe. the SE is supposed to be a bit quieter than the ti-c series. if you're going towards a testpipe/greddy combo, stick a testpipe on the hks to see how it sounds

My recommendation is to get a test pipe and stick it on there with the HKS before you choose to get a heavier exhaust based on sound and looks. Either way, if you end up wanting the Greddy instead, you should run a test pipe; so I'd start there.

Do you guys think the SE single is too loud for a daily driver?

How do you pass emissions with a test pipe? Or you can't? Will test pipe give you more power than a HFC? Will you pass emissions with a HFC?
