I have the Remark single, it's great for a daily, it makes the exhaust quiet except in the 1,600 and 2,200-2,800rpm range. It's really hard to tune all the resonance out of the exhaust, in the middle setting it's not bad and it looks great in the back.
^ Interesting, would imagine that giant scuba tank I mean helmholtz chamber would cut out all the drone. I have a 32" crush bent tube that cut out significant amount of drone from my 3"
OP: I suggest you cut the muffler off and buy a vibrant muffler or something good/well known. You could also cut the ballade muffler off and redo the internals. I missed by chance at buying someones ballade S for 100$ on FB market... though if you do want to sell that to me for 100$ I'll buy it off you . Granted it's in great shape except for the muffler.
I'm running a ballade header > berk hfc > transition taper to > berk 3" with a vibrant ultra quiet and a 32" helmholtz, seems excellent to me. This car I think most exhaust require some modifications to deal with drone or sound level desires. Also supposedly the new ballade s exhaust ti or ss have that rattle fixed
I like my "single exhaust" setup I use for track days. PLM header, test pipe, stock resonators, dump just behind the passenger compartment! I clamp the rear stock section back on if driving a lot on the street. But while a bit annoying after a while it still drones less than a lot of aftermarket exhausts I have heard on this car. Even passes sound at SCCA autox events!

It is a track/autox car mostly so the only vids I have are from inside the car and longer, full lap videos.. The one below is on track, top up, windows down with the setup I mentioned. And I will say again I would not actually run this on the street. I have for short periods but it is a tad loud. It did only blow 94 dB at nationals one year with this setup so not as lound as some people run on the street I guess but it gets to be a bit much top down after a lot of driving around. But if you want an easy way to drop weight for a track day/autox for not much money this is not a bad one. Previous owner had the mod done on mine when he still owned it. Exhaust is cut just befor the Y in back, and a V band flange was installed. So I can unclamp and remove the mufflers and rear pipe (44 lbs total) and clamp a short turndown there so it dumps behind the passenger compartment (complies with SCCA rules this way)
However, I was mainly adding to the idea that most of that drone is from systems without a heimholtz resonator. Even without mufflers but with the stock resonators you will have very little of the annoying drone some systems produce.
I like my t1r 70em quite a bit. the only other single I'd run is the ams 70mm single or the ballade type s. I'm running the ballade SEQUENTIAL TRI-Y with a resonated tapered test pipe (62-to 70mm) to the t1r 70em.
