- 2021 4xe Rubicon

Hello,
So some people get the 4xe for the tax credits, others because they want it to be silent, others because its the shiny new toy.
I placed my order for the 4xe Rubicon for a variety of reason, but the least of which is the sound (or lack there of). In fact, the 4xe was neck and neck with the Diesel for me (due to engine sound).
One of the things that pushed me towards the 4xe is the aftermarket options that enable me to have authentic sound if I wanted.
There are actual exhaust systems I can add so that the 4xe makes the sound desired (Borla, MagnaFlow, Flowmaster, etc).
Alternatively, I've come across these active exhaust sound systems where they install a device that is in sync with the jeep and make any sound desired (inside and/or outside) when stepping on the gas, or in idle

I'm still debating between the two types, either a real exhaust or a sound system. With the exhaust, I'm limited to the sound of the exhaust, whereas with the sound system I can make it a v8, diesel, hot rod, etc. I kind of like the sound system because you have flexibility with sound plus the ability to turn it off if you're in a situation where you need to be silent. However the thought of a sound system seems cheesy, so I'm going back and forth on which way to go.
Either way, the price is actually the same as the sound systems are very complex and are in tune with the vehicle in order to make real sounds at whatever RPM you are at.
Haven't seen much chatter on people wanting the sounds so I may be in the minority?
