Hey! Sorry if this post is the wrong place or format.
I was wondering if anyone has changed their exhaust and ended up with a quiter car. I have tried the RPM gpf back and it was nothing but reverb and couldnt hear anything over the exhaust rumble. I am now 3 months into using a Miltek gpf back exhaust, but the car is silent, it no longer crackles or pops and just sounds like its permanently in eco mode. I have also tried a gpf delete, the sound came back and it sounded amazing, but due to insurance 'complications' I have since removed it.
Ultimately I was wondering if anyone has experienced a quieter car after installing an aftermarket exhaust, and what they have done to bring back the sound.
Thanks!

Note Police are starting to use sound enforcement cameras e.g. :link: New noise cameras on UK roads mean cars hitting this decibel will be 'seized' - Birmingham Live (https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/motoring/motoring-news/new-noise-cameras-uk-roads-29991632)
Maybe keep the "quiet" exhaust to avoid being fined, or worse, for noise nuisance.
