My middle finger broke while trying to scroll through those pictures. Holy big
Like alot of people, I have messed around with various options. Finally finished with this setup:
AWE DP (resonated)
APR Exhaust (drive with flaps closed most of time via AWE Switchpath Remote)
My previous DP was the regular APR, but I deemed it too loud.

I think I'll be going with the Miltek down pipe and probably the resonated cat back. Local shop let me know the exchange rate is in our favor at the moment so it seems like a good time to go that route 
Thanks for all the input guys!

You can buy my AWE Switchpath catback exhaust, I added a Vibrant Resonator to it to quiet it down a little more when just cruising.
I took it off to put that money towards some track wheels/tires. If you're interested shoot me a PM. I have a FS ad here (https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48834). I get good rates shipping from my work if you're interested.
Thanks,

Thought I'd update this a bit...
I now have the Miltek catted downpipe on my car. Like the added noise when in race mode. Now after running this setup for the past few months I can say I do want a bit more noise when in race mode. However I'd also like to keep it close to stock when in normal mode since I do drive quite a bit (Bought the R in January with 17k miles, it now has 33k miles).
I think I've narrowed it down a bit to some of the quieter options out there...
-Miltek
-BCS
-Bull-X looks like they did something similar to BCS
There's a pretty good selection of exhausts here:

I have the resonator delete also and installed the AWE switch path remote too. I really like it, pretty quiet when closed but you can tell there is a difference. I went this route too because I’ve read the car can be very loud if you add a downpipe with an aftermarket catback, which eventually I will be adding a downpipe. Also, this route is way cheaper than most of the catback systems out there.
With a downpipe it'll get MUCH louder with a res delete...

I don't like the way that sounds at all. Since I spend most of my commute in the 2400-3100RPM range.
The resonator delete with the valves closed to me is almost not even noticeable.
I don’t get why people want to modify their exhaust then complain about how it sounds, kind of defeats the purpose. If you’re worried about drone or more sound from your exhaust, save some money and leave it stock!
But I want to have my cake and eat it too
Honestly loud doesn't bother me much, especially in race mode... I just want zero drone.
