To be honest noise is more to do with centre section and back box in my opinion, but decat will obviously up the volume a little.
If I was you I'd get a decent panel filter, prodrive sports cat off an sti and decat the rest. You'll probably need a remap to make it all spot on, might as well add a prodrive back box as it has been said to be on the quiet side.

Difference between Decat, sports cat and normal is level of restriction with Decat on the wrong side of legal regarding emissions. Beware of some sport cats as some are useless.
