Exhaust sound comparison - "Charlie Chan" vs. Modding Stock Muffler

Planning to install Topspeed secondary bypasses next month when the new shipment comes in, and simultaneously free up the muffler sound too. Trying to decide between cutting and welding the stock 986 S muffler or going with the cheap "Charlie Chan" style mufflers.

An ideal exhaust sound for me would be a noticeable, but not annoying burble at idle, with a throaty midrange and a howl at high RPMs. I do not want to set off car alarms on city streets just driving though.

Can owners of either of these setups post links to high quality recordings of the sound they produce? Also, any comment about the resonance "drone" produced would be helpful.

Car is a stock (other than desnork) 2000 S model.

Thanks guys!
