My problem is that the stock exhaust just quite simply isn’t loud enough. I’m planning on ordering a Magnaflow x pipe but from the audio clips. I’ve heard it would be nice if there was something I could still do to make it a bit louder. I don’t have the money for a full cat back exhaust and was trying to not create much drone.

Good morning,

The X pipe will increase exhaust flow but not change the sounds. In order for that to happen, you will need the cat back with the high-flow mufflers for the mellow sounds. That will set you back some serious money.
