aFe Power Exhaust?

Looking into getting the Mach Force XP aFe Power, I had Borla ATAK on my previous V6 and it was a mean machine, however I'm liking the sound of the Mach Force more, looking here it would appear not a lot of people have it, and for the same price as the Borla, I just want to know if the company is reputable with good quality, if there is any drone in the catback, and how much time will it take until I get kicked out my apartment complex.

AFE is a good company, and quality is top notch. I have no experience with their exhaust, but have read some posts that their exhaust plus headers had some drone, seems if you keep the stock manifolds, there is no drone.

NPP, looking to get the catback, how quiet is it with the valves closed relative to NPP?

Thanks, this is what I wanted to know, not looking to do anything to the engine right now or in the near future so that's a non-issue for now

i had longtubes on it with stock npp exhaust then they added the axleback so ive never driven the car with just the exhaust on it but its definately louder than stock and the npp still works perfect and you lose some weight also getting rid of the oem npp suitcase muffler

Of course it's louder than stock, that's why I'm getting it , I just wonder how the quietest setting of the aFe compares to the loudest setting on stock NPP as I drive on Track mode all the time
