Default Exhaust Mod advice needed

I replaced my stock exhaust with Ford Racing Axleback exhaust by Borla. Since then I want a little more rumble and was wondering if I change my stock H- pipe to an X-pipe would that help? If so what would be the best X-pipe to go with? Not ready to change headers or delete cats.

Ok one more question I noticed some of the H-pipes requires cuttting of the stock pipes are there any on the market that doesn't require cutting?

X pipe is gunna give you a little more raspyness I think. Probably not what you're looking for. I'd leave the H.

I installed a Splice in X Pipe, allowing you to retain your OEM cats. The sound changed but does not get louder, it sounds more agressive and throaty but as far as rumble goes your H will prolly be the best thing until your ready to go Cattless or put on headers. If you delete your cats it ill get pretty loud

The only thing that'll make it louder is removing the cats.

No cats is a huge leap in sound. My X is very raspy. I'd probably go with an H if I were to do it again. Before the X, I had an H pipe with high flow cats. Sounded amazing with my Borlas.

I'd say make up your mind on exhaust by listening to other people's setups on youtube. It can get very expensive at the exhaust shop with all the cutting/fitting that needs to be done...speaking from experience here
