4.6is Replaced Resonator with Straight Pipe Not Too Happy Need Suggestions

So I was hanging around my friends shop yesterday and he ended up replacing the resonator with straight pipe. ahhhh its not bad I wouldnt mind it being a little louder at idle and def more deeper v8 sound.. Its just not the growl I was thinking a V8 would have

I'm thinking to change out the straight to X-pipe OR leaving the straight and changing the mufflers.

feedback suggestions?

its not bad dont get me wrong. just not the sound i wanted I wanted a more deep sound. I dont think i like the back pressure on a BMW. Im gonna order the X pipe it should even it out I hope.

i was hoping someone did the x pipe mod and or muffler I might have to change the muffler to get the ideal sound I want

Imola, Check out billy boat performance. They have some really good stuff that makes cars sound like heaven. I've used them for my Z32TT and man is that sound suh-weet.

When reving it is a little raspy for my taiste..

i feel a very tiny loss in low end torque.

it pops when deaceleration

Im gonna try magnaflow x pipe so it evens out the sound
