Default BBK shorty headers with Borla- S

After trying Bassani axle back exhaust and some vibrant resonators, I still had too much resonation in the interior of 2012. My wife complained all the time. I was able to replace the sections of pipe I cut out, for the resonators, with band type exhaust clamps. I just found some used Borla S axle backs, and now they are on the car. The Bassani actually sounded better on the outside, with a deeper tone, but Borla has no resonation. The only thing is, Borla has a higher pitch. Looking to find a video with shorty headers and the S (stinger) Borlas. I read that the shorty headers will lower the tone. Anyone interested in Bassani axle backs?

I know my Tourings Sound awesome and the stingers are just a bit louder.
I also know the headers did lower the tone, I have the before and after with the Stock Manual mufflers.

I've been interested in getting the bbk shorties and like the idea of keeping the stock exhaust. Can you post the before/after with the stock?

Thanks

I think the X-pipe makes a substantial difference in the sound.

It smoothed it out and gives it more popping between shifts and decelerating. It also made it a tad bit louder.
