Stuck between these two exhausts.
The Roush cat-back will run me about $750 and is by far the loudest option I’ve heard for the EB. While that’s great, I feel like it’ll be too much at times especially with no valves to control loudness. The MBRP street will be about $450 but doesn’t sound nearly as good and isn’t as loud. However, that’s likely more reasonable in the grand scheme of things. Is the MBRP street enough? Hard to tell in videos because a lot of times they never do the exhaust justice.

I got the seller of the Roush to come down another $100. Also, considering I know Roush has great build quality it's a no brainer. Can't complain about $650 for an $1100 system either

We have the the Roush cat back and I think it sounds perfect. Not super raspy. So it gets my vote.

I know this doesn't help your debate, but have you ever heard the NxtStep axle back? It has a nice deep sound, it's louder but not too loud, and no rasp even at high rpm(I have stop exhaust manifold and stock resonator in place). And the Nxtstep axle back is made from stainless steel and cheaper than what you are considering. Just a thought
