Performance Exhaust System

So I've been thinking about getting an exhaust system for my 02 3.0 for over a year now, and I think I'm finally ready to get one. I just had an X pipe installed a few days ago, and it didn't do much in sound because of the big ass mufflers the 3.0 has. I was thinking of going with supersprints. Someone has the right side for sale for about 350 but I would have to order the other side new for a little over 850. So that would run me 1200 without installation.

The newest option I considered was getting a custom made exhaust system from a local shop here. He will make 2.25 or 2.5 inch piping leading to magnaflow mufflers. This would run me somewhere from 600-850 with installation. I'm a little skeptical about how it may end up sounding. I'm looking for deep, and significantly loud and noticeable.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions on different systems or options?

*EDIT: MOD COMPLETE! THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR INPUT*
