What exhaust set up to go with AA Headers??

Looking to make some exhaust upgrades and for some opinions from those running AA headers and what exhaust you have and if you like it. Currently I have:

AA Headers
Stock Secondary Cats
Stock Resonator
Stock Muffler

I am the guy who likes having a sleeper, so I’m not looking for straight pipes or the BMW PE. I leave every morning around 5:00am and don’t want to wake all my neighbors on a cold start and drive off. It seems pretty well documented the PE is not good with headers.

So I’m looking for more “quiet power” which I realize is a contradiction lol.

Based on some reading I was leaning towards deleting the secondary cats and adding the AA Gen 2 muffler. From what I’ve read the AA Gen 2 is fairly quiet compared to the PE.

Then I was thinking of keeping the stock resonator but I see AA also has their own mid pipe with a resonator but I’m not sure I see the value in it.

Here’s a clip I found of a forumer with the complete AA set up AA Headers>AA Mid Pipes>AA Muffler and I actually think it sounds good but im wondering if it’s probably too loud for what I’m after. Hard to tell from one video...
