Specific axle-back exhaust needs....confused!

Ok guys/gals.....yes, I have weeded through the plethora of posts/videos.....sound files. Searched, and looked through all. I am still lost! I am an idiot!

What I want:

NOT a loud start-up (I leave 5 a.m.)
Deeper tone at idle
No rasp
No popping on over-revs/decelaration
Deeper overall, nice mid rpm tone (regular driving, not concerned about WOT tone)
NO DRONE!
Budget $500 (I will install)

I am heavily leaning toward the MRT V2, but there are a bunch of drone posts recently referncing the V2's as having significant drone. With a 50 mile commute....I don't think that is an option. I guess I want something that sounds deeper/more muscular than stock, but is not too loud, and does not drone. I think anything would be an improvement over the stock mufflers, but I can only afford to do this once!

Thanks

I guess my post seems redundant, with all the exhausts posts up....understandable.

all mufflered axle backs will be almost as quiet as what you have now. I have the SLP loudmouth 1 kit...has a good startup and it sounds great unless u really get on it thats the only time that it really awakens!! i love it and at 404.00 from marylandspeedshop.com its a steal....

Get dynomax vt! They are not loud at start up. Also, they have a valve in them which opens and closes based on the air flow through the exhaust which eliminates drone. They have a $75 mail in rebate till 6/30 and they cost $447 on jegs which brings them to $372 sipped.

Sounds good, but I'm happy with my MRT-V2s. More expensive than dynos heads up but when purchased w/ the CAI through Juiced, close in price.
