Sound clips don’t really matter as the microphones are all different and don’t really do any of them justice.

Single Outlet / High Tuck Exhaust with Reasonable Sound?
How should I decide what to buy? I've never changed an exhuast system on a car and don't want to buy something I hate, especially since I'm learning as I go, If that makes sense.

I have the Corsa turn-down on my 2.3L. Here’s my review that has been posted to the Corsa site:
All Upside — 2.3L Four Cylinder Turndown (Manual Bronco)
Super easy to install when you’re not needing to dial-in tips to perfection, compared to the (visible) double tips that Corsa also sells. I bought a cheap exhaust hanger removal tool from Amazon that broke immediately, but was able to repair it and get the install done. Maybe just under 2 hours to finish the remove & replace, including fixing the cheapie tool. No need to lift the Bronco—the Badlands (non-Sasquatch) was plenty easy to crawl and work under using the cardboard from the Corsa box.
My last two cars that I did exhaust mods to were an Audi RS3 (5 cylinder) and an Audi S5 (V8), so that’s my frame of reference.
This Corsa is subtle, but I think that’s actually a good thing. No drone whatsoever. You will absolutely not grow tired of this. It will not wake up your neighbors on cold starts. It adds a nice growl and enough volume that I can shift by ear even better.
There’s a hint of rasp and snaps when revving—gotta love manual transmissions. There’s just no downside to this part, especially if you buy it for a decent price. I haven’t yet had anyone drive my car so I could hear the exhaust from outside, but I’ve been told the note is a lot better. For now, Corsa’s video will have to suffice for me.
Does this sound as good as a normally-aspirated Audi 4.2L V8 manual after deleting several cans? No, unfortunately. But is it quite a bit better than stock and no-doubt-about-it livable? Yes. You won’t regret this one.

Happy to answer any questions about it.
