I would highly recommend saving and getting a nice exhaust. I just put a Corsa on my 2011 hatch. Although it isn't straight pipe loud when you step on it, it has a fine very audible tone. On a cold start it is loud enough to wake the dead. The drone is literally zero. Even with a jacked up vehicle at the moment on a easy acceleration and maintaining speed the volume doesn't rattle around in your head, it is stone quiet in the cabin.
At your price point you are looking for muffler deletes, my humble opinion is they are obnoxious and have no tone besides loud.
Good luck and enjoy the car. I would also recommend perhaps using that money to have some basic health checks done to the vehicle, and ensure any aftermarket bolt ons are properly accounted for with a tune. It doesn't take much to throw the system off and make a bang.
