If you are looking for a more quiet "gentlemanly" exhaust, the Tanabe Medallion is a good option. I believe it's easier to get your hands on too, I recommended it to someone recently and they got it fairly quickly.
May also be able to find a used one with a WTB ad, they pop up every now and again.

I've got it with JDM DP and stock cat (JDM car); it's not quite the sound I expected for it. Plenty loud, just feeling a bit ho-hum about the tone. How much does the hi-flo cat change the sound or just the sound power levels?

Any exhaust with the twins and the stock main cat is tolerable and not that loud. Getting rid of the cat or going single turbo exponentially increases the loudness.
High-flow cat will make the car louder for sure.
Also getting rid of the JDM downpipe will probably help some in the sound category. it will help peformance too, that thing is pretty rinky-dink. HKS downpipe works perfectly on RHD cars.

I initially put the Tanabe Medallion catback on while it still retained the same straight thru mid-pipe. It quieted the racket down considerably, but there was still some raspyness when I got on the throttle and droning at highway speeds. Next thing I did was replace the straight thru mid-pipe with a used 3" resonated mid-pipe section I got off a forum member that has a large oval Magnaflow resonator in it. The resonated mid-pipe was a PFS piece, all stainless steel construction with mandrel bends. The resonated mid-pipe squelched all the remaining raspyness and highway droning, at least IMO. Can easily hear the radio at low/moderate volumes and carry on a conversation with a passenger when cruising around. Sound out of the Tanabe when I get on the throttle hard has a deep, baritone quality, almost big V8-ish.

Still need to install it. Not touching my FD until I get it into the shop because it’s been running a not so ideal idle and my cheap AFR shows it’s running more lean than usual and cuts out at stoplights, stop signs unless I hit the gas a bit. Think the fuel pump or something needs to be replaced, won’t find out until I get it in the shop and diagnose it. It runs smoothly when I’m driving it around though, just haven’t hit it hard yet. Don’t want to risk blowing the engine until then and if I install the high flow cat and exhaust before then I’ll be very tempted to drive it around lol
Want my 100-100 compression engine to last as long as possible, and not risk anything.

I personally did not notice a sound difference, removing my jdm downpipe, for the HKS, but have noticed the performance increase.
The racing beat dual tip pops up used a lot. Stupid sturdy and over built. Racing Beat exhaust are second to none as far as a quiet exhaust that will last longer than the car itself. If I still lived on the Emerald Coast I would have swapped or sold you mine.

. That said, i have repacked it myself but i did use both fiberglass mats and metal sponges.The Tanabe Medallion is on my wanted list tho. Sounds nice on all the clips i have seen. Just curious about whether or not it will be restrictive when pushing past 350rwhp on the twins.
Not saying the airpump is bad - the air pump relief makes all sorts of noise. Here's my writeup to make a SUPER easy, small, and cheap silencer for a buck -

Takes all the goofy air pump sounds out.

What year did you buy yours in? Some forum members have stated, with good reason, that the recent versions aren't as well built as the older versions. There was no official change in product from my understanding, but the droning that occurs on highway rpm driving was something that didn't exist.
Surprised people are complaining about them. Maybe they are running non resonated midpipes?

What did they give as evidence that makes you say it’s “with good reason”? Can you please post a link?
I’m aware of two versions of the RB DT, mine being the latest and the quality is top notch. Beautiful welds, quality material and fit is perfect. Came with gaskets and even the hanger is stainless, which is an improvement over stock. I run a hi-flow cat and there is no droning.
I also prefer the look over any single tip. To me it’s a much more finished look.
