If you're not looking to change the tone of the exhaust, your best bet is to keep the stock exhaust. It's not costing you any horsepower at the limits of the stock turbos.

Having heard most in person I'd have to say the P&L Motorsports catted downpipes + their exhaust is very mellow
A close second would be any aftermarket 400 cell catted downpipe set with the new cp-e 2.75" system

If you want quiet stock exhaust is where it's at.

Yeah, Ford Performance is on the way
Downpipes will not help without a custom tune.

by quiet, do you mean less external noise or no drone?

If you have to ask for the quietest, you should just stay with the stock system. Plenty of people buy catbacks or even full exhausts and realize the sound isn't what they were looking for. It's an expensive quest.

Probably Borla S Type but then you’re stuck with those crappy flex pipes

no you aren’t you just pair it with lethal mid pipes or SPD downpipes with the midpipe built in…

My take if you want relatively quiet: Lethal midpipe, MRT H-pipe, 4" black muffler tips.
