Question slk350 exhaust sound - howler please?

I have just bought a Slk350. Previously I had a couple of Porsches - The 964 had a beautiful howl once it hit about 3500rpm. I then got a 993 and wanted to get the same sound so bought new exhaust but ended up with sound that was louder, more of a rumble and grumble - but not the howl that I just loved about the 964.
So I am looking for an exhaust that is not too loud at low revs, doesn't resonate or sound hollow, but changes pitch once the revs start to pick up.
The factory sound is not bad but could be better.
Which brand of exhaust would you recommend?

I highly recommend the Brabus, when reading the narrative I felt that the Brabus has the right characteristics for you in which it is marginally louder than the oem setup and has a nice depth to the sound. It sounds more enjoyable rather than annoying to the driver especially in the upper rpm's where it has a nice "whaling" characteristic.
