I need help on deciding which is best for me Borla, Ultimate Racing, or Corksport

Hey everyone I've finally made the decision to finally upgrade my exhaust on my 2017 GT hatch. I've dug around forums looking at exhaust options and I've narrowed it down to 3: Borla, UR, and corksport. (all axle back)

I've looked around the forums hoping there would be more comparisons on the sound between these but either I'm not looking hard enough or not many have talked about it being compared to each other.

I'm looking for an exhaust that won't bring much of that fart can rice car sound and from what I've heard these don't sound much like it.

Now the real question is which of the 3 gives off a full sound throughout the Rev range yet gives off the deepest growl during cold start but don't want it to be obnoxiously loud where you can hear it from a block away, during normal idle and casual and hard acceleration but not having very noticeable droning? Since I'm mainly upgrading for sound

Between Borla and CS I think Borla beats it in these categories but I want to hear what the community thinks since I've never heard them in person. Sadly I couldn't find much anywhere for UR vs it's competitors so I was hoping if you guys could add some input on how it compares to Borla and CS.

I've had my Borla for almost 4 months and love it. Gives it a nice deep sound. There was only slight drone when highway cruising, but I've added sound deadening and its pretty much gone. I as well searched for sound clips on youtube and I felt the Borla was exactly what I wanted.

See, that's the thing, how deep is the sound because I don't want it too deep where it just sounds ridiculous. As for the sound deadening, how did you do it?
Here are sound clips of my Borla. I'll let you decide :)

Thanks for the video with the sounds. This really helps a lot. Is your car a 2.0L version? I have a 2.5L so I wonder if the sound is much different.
Yea mine is the 2.0L. It probably sounds similar with the 2.5L just being a bit louder.
