Hatchback exhaust choices

I've searched (a little) for a catback exhaust for my '14 Wrx Hatch and have found that I need to win the lottery to afford a Perrin or Cobb. Turbo XS is a less expensive route but it seems they are out of stock wherever I look. I can stomach spending 600-650 on a catback,is there a company who makes or sells an affordable catback with a deep rumble that I haven't looked into? Thanks in advance

You can probably get a used Q300 cbe for $500. Best bet is to buy it used. I probably wont get a CBE until I decide to go stg 2 protune, so I just bought a used stock axleback for $60 and have it gutted for $90. It's like having a nameless axel for $150, but without the nice tips.

why not just get a catless dp and have an exhaust shop remove the resonator on your midpipe.

On the NorCal classifieds a guy a selling a Cobb catback for like 400. It just needs a new resonator, talked to a couple shops in stockton and sac and they would fix it for 75-200 depending. Looked into buying it before i picked up my P&L. Could be a steal

2014 WRX master race reporting for duty.

I'm probably going to go with nameless axleback as well. Everything else is too expensive and I really only want something that makes noise. Just can't decide between the 5" muffler or magnaflow option.
