Thats exactly how I feel. I've listened to countless vids of all the different exhaust setups on the new '11 and I feel like they either are too quiet or way to similar to stock to justify the $400+ for the setups. Also the sound profiles are typically a low rumble at idle and start-up then get much higher pitched when on the throttle. This all being said its just my opinion and wouldnt discourage people from buying aftermarket. I know I buy plenty of things others wouldnt justify buying

I totally agree with you. I'm just getting a tune,and MAYBE gears, but other than that, I'm waiting for more parts to become available.

Well, I personally wouldn't leave it as-is. 1:47-1:57 of the video was absolutely music to my ears, but, that's only with full acceleration. The sound it was making when just cruising / shifting / decel was just too tin-y to me, if that makes sense.

There needs to be some kind of muffler, if not muffler maybe a resonator somewhere in there, and then I think it would be perfect. The noise level isn't an issue, in fact I'd say it's pretty ideal, it just needs to be less harsh when cruising around.

All in all, I think just removing the mufflers, at least on the '11 V6, leaves the car sounding cheap. You've got a gorgeous car - don't undersell it with that backfiring nonsense.
