Question GM NPP or Solo MachX- LFX exhaust

On my '12 2LT convertible I'm ready to pull the trigger on a suspension and exhaust upgrade.

I'm try to decide on the factory NPP or Solo exhaust. The issue is my car does not have the software or hardware to flip the switch on the NPP so it would be wide open all the time. I'm trying to figure out what would sound better and last longer.

I'd appreciate your thoughts. If anyone has any sound/video clips to share, I'd appreciate those as well.

Side note. If I go with the Solo I'm planning to upgrade it to quad tips.

I had the GMPP axel back exhaust which wasn't bad, a little bump in sound. I currently have the solo cat back setup, and I have to install my solo HFCs. I like the solo, it sounds good to me. I'm not an exhaust aficionado so I couldn't say it's better than another brand.

NPP and buy the switcher for like 60 bucks! Quad tip looks badass!

I've had the Solo Mach X cat back for a couple of years and love the sound. I'm also adding the Solo HFCs next weekend to complete the system.
