I am sure this has been discussed at length, but I can't really find much on these specific questions when searching.

I am looking to get more sound out of my stock zle. I am in CA so unfortunately, it is very unlikely the car will ever see LTs.

I need to keep the NPP functionality as i often take the car out early, and otherwise will wake up my young kids..

my questions:

1. It seems like the Borla atak or s type are the most popular options for retaining npp as far as sound and quality. is that correct, or anything else that would rival these? I know AWE is popular, but I cant lose NPP.

2. Is there a difference in sound if doing the catback vs the axle back? I know and have seen power wise there are no real gains getting the cat back, and i will be limited with my stock exhaust manifolds anyway. so the only reason for me to go cat back is sound it seems like.

3. I have watched a lot of videos of the s type and atak. really hard for me to see the difference between these on the sound in videos. I know obviously the atak is louder, but is it the same sound, just louder? is there consensus on if the atak or s type sounds better than the other? I know people recommend the s type for LT cars.. I am just wondering if since I will not do LTs, if I should get the atak? I am good with more volume as the car is just a toy for me, but I want the car to sound good. I also dont want the car to be too quiet. I feel like if the car is too loud, I can close the valves. If it is too quiet, i would need a new exhaust.

Thank you all!
