A friend put on a H pipe on his 2016 GT and I found it sounded almost stock, not much change at all, so I went with the SLP Loudmouth 2 axleback and love it. I kept the rest of the exhaust stock.

Depends on which axle-back you're going to install. Some are obnoxious because it's basically a muffler delete (or literally, in some cases). Axle-backs are much more expensive but the performance gain (not much) is going to come from an H/X pipe.

I have active exhaust and an h-pipe. It can be quiet or loud as hell and anything in between.

Work your way rearward with exhaust. Headers, then hipo cats, then x or h pipes and then finally mufflers. Freeing up restriction closer to the engine helps it "breathe" better (Essentially creating a larger exhaust "plenum" if you will). By the time the exhaust has cooled down and surface/boundary friction has worked it's magic on the exhaust, the pulses aren't as defined and don't have any real scavenging ability that far back (rear axle). Granted in the extreme, say putting a 1 inch diameter tailpie is going to kill the gains of the other improvements, but the stock setup really isn't that bad, I don't think there are much performance improvements just for swapping the mufflers.

H pipe and SLP exhaust. Great tone, good around town, wild when you jump on it. Some drone at 65 but not bad

OP does your car have active exhaust?

I have a 2018 pp1 and installed a Steeda X pipe. I wanted a little more volume but nothing that would draw unwanted attention. Removing the "suitcase" was where I started and sense I was happy with the results I stopped there. If you are in the fontana area you are welcome to stop by and listen to mine.

If you have active exhaust - do a resonator delete. (i prefer the H) You will be beyond impressed with how it sounds and also the viability of the exhaust so you can alter the volume as you please.
If not, im sure there will be plenty of options and youtube videos out there to help you choose.

I went for the axle-back first (Roush). Got the sound/tone I liked. Then later, with prodding from the wife, I added an h-pipe to really turn up the volume.

You're gonna hafta' start with telling us what you want out of your exhaust system there Scooter.

Louder? Quieter? Harsh/metallic race-car sound? Mellow burbly? More HPs? Just a change in the sound?

You'll love it more with an H-Pipe & Free Flow Exhaust !! ZERO rasp next to nothing for DRONE.

If concerned about loudness, do the Steeda H pipe and call it a day. Cheapest to do and will add some noise but not obnoxious.

nah it doesnt but my choices are the corsa hpipe or mbrp axle backs

Hearing a friend's non-active exhaust with H-pipe in person convinced me not to go that route. It was a little louder than stock but tinny at higher RPMs. I have the Roush axle back with stock resonator and it sounds much better than his.
