My SFR is just that and it doesn't sound rice

Unless powerful and deep is rice now-a-days.

It depends on what kind of universal muffler you're talking about. Mine are HKS universal 3" mufflers which to me and everyone who's heard them, are the opposite of rice.

Get universal JDM mufflers. They have an exotic JDM sound.

you can't be that much of a car newbie to tell me you don't realize the MASSIVE difference in sound between a turbo car and a n/a car

of course yours is going to sound deep and non-ricey. You're running a twin setup, which TOTALLY changes the sound of the exhaust from a n/a setup.

IMO, unless turbo, I'd just go with one of the many exhaust options available
