Need opinion/videos: Berk Street vs. Race exhaust

Hi all, considering bumping from the Berk Street Axle-back to the Race axle-back. What I'm looking for is a bit more of a throaty sound over the Street version. I've also heard N54 mid pipes can alter the sound. Anyone have any opinions on this? Don't want it much louder than it is with the Berk Street, just a little more raspy.

I had the Race exhaust on my old setup, with cp-e DPs and n54 mids. It's loud. I think both versions gives it a very deep note. It's very lovely to hear, but on a daily basis, I couldn't do it. Even with the stock mids, I was still getting a bit of droning.

I have the BERK axle back street exhaust and I love it. I'm considering getting the BERK mid pipes to accompany my axle back set up. I'd like it to be a bit louder than it is.

I would definitely explore the mid-pipe option before going to the Berk Race.

Catless downpipes, resonated catless midpipes, and an axle-back with a muffler that addresses drone is the ideal setup for these cars.

I'm biased of course with my BMS catless downpipes, modified N54 midpipes and Maddad Whisper.

I'd love to do catless DP's and high flow mids but it's just not realistic for me.

What's the benefit of running N54 mids on the N55?

EDIT: Disregard above comment, looks like it's the N55 mids that are favorable over the n54 mids... Not sure how I mixed that up.

I'd really like to hear some other setups in person, shame these cars are so rare.
