I bet if you remove the center resonator in favor of just an X-pipe you will get the more sound you are looking for. As i understand the center resonator has an x pipe in it but is heavily insulated to cut more sound.

Yeah, I have to get under there and see what it looks like as far as clearances and such. Was thinking of doing electric cutouts in front of the resonator going around it to meet back up before the Dinan mufflers. Wanted to see what that sounded like... X pipes are an option, etc. Lots of options and I think I'll have to try multiple iterations to see which I prefer.

I was definitely considering cutouts, just not sure how I wanted to utilize them yet. Probably not in a "dump" capacity like on muscle cars... but you never know.
