Exhaust Crossroads for 2012 Sport

[TacticalMeatloaf]

Hey All,
I am stuck at a bit of a crossroad when it comes to my exhaust. So far I have only added the Magnaflow #12588 and the S&B CAI. Resonators are still on it and so is the factory "Y" off the primary. My question is what should I do next to open it up a little more? I can really only tell that I did anything to it sounds wise if I am above 2k RPMs. I am trying to stay on the tamer side of things but would appreciate a tad more rumble out of it but by the same token not have it upset my neighbors. I'd be much obliged for any direction you can give me. The only thing I want to stay away from is changing out the muffler again but that may also be the simplest way about it. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

I've been looking at reconfiguring my exhaust from the cat-back system i currently have, to a more quiet system with exhaust cutouts. Best of both worlds.

DavidRam has a great build thread: http://www.ramforum.com/f44/exhaust_cutout_-_yes_no-60481/

page 10 has some video. It sounds insane.

Wow! That thing sounds mean!! I'm trying to explore all avenues available including shorty headers, re-doing the y, and deleting the resonators from the tailpipe. However, from what I understand none of those things will make a very noticeable difference in the sound at idle or lower RPMs. This is the first vehicle I've ever modified the exhaust on so I figured I would start out tame and then gradually bring it up to where I like it. Regretting that thought process though. I never thought of a cut-out though. I'll have to check into that some more.

UPDATE:

So I got on the phone with Magnaflow today and spoke to tech support. He seemed to think that by replacing the stock resonators with these would get me more of a rumble at idle. It's hard for me to tell if it's an effort to get me to buy more magnaflow things or if it will work in principle. Has anyone ever done anything like that?
