You can go with long tubes but that will get pretty aggressive. A solid alternative to that would be a set of Solo high flow cats. They will add a solid 15rwhp and some extra bite to your exhaust.

I bought my solo catback, and was initially disappointed with the sound level. After a couple thousand miles the sound improved. I would like to add the solo high flow cats but they cost $700 bucks. For that much money I will save a little more and get TSP lg tubes and high flow cats.

I can't explain why, but my Solo Mach XL catback wasn't as loud as I thought it would be at first. It took about 5,000 miles to really get its peak volume out of it. I've been told this is because of carbon building up in the pipes that helps that, not sure if that's accurate or not. However, adding long tube headers definitely woke the car up A LOT! The real sound of the car is for people driving behind you, but the long tube headers really make the car wake up sound wise, especially under WOT. The best part is, the car still does not drone.

Here's a GoPro video I did post tune with Kooks LT's, cats, and Solo Mach XL catback

I ended up taking the j-tubes off to get it louder.

The system is so mellow, it still doesn't drone without the tubes.
