Definitely! Deleting the resonator will most definitely amplify the sound. The x-pipe will just balance back pressure. Quote:

When I did mine, I upgraded the pipe size as well. That along with the CAI did produce a bit more power under acceleration, but nothing spectacular. Looked and sounded way better though. The headers though.. Dayum! The X is one of the only vehicles I have slapped headers on and was shocked with the results! The sound, power, the whole 9. Those stock manifolds really do neuter the M54. E53 RiPPeR XOuTPoST jUNkiE ReVELaTiON 22:21

Worth a shot here but anyone have an older remus, supersprint exhaust they'd want to get rid of? I don't really want to do a muffler delete as from the sound clips it sounds horrid on the 3.0i. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, all I've done thus far is xpipe and 4.6 mufflers installed.
Just looking for a more deeper raspier sound without going crazy spending

Did you remove the resonator when you installed the xpipe?

yup, installed the magnaflow xpipe and def sounds great on a cold start, unfortunately with the e53's we can't do the golf tee mod lol but other than that I'm really happy with it, since I have the prefacelift model it's really hard to get a good exhaust sound without spending a lot of money for the 3.0i

assuming there is not much I can do besides upgrade mufflers and straight pipe?

That is why it is difficult to replace the mufflers with a high flow type, with a more aggressive sound. I am all for hearing my power plant scream, but do not run straight pipes. The cats alone are not enough to refine the tone. My suggestion, find the smallest, and I mean the smallest high flow mufflers available. Get them installed and worry about the tips after.
