Default cat-back exhaust, looking to buy something

Hey guys,

I have read all the threads about muffler delete and how exhaust systems don't add much/any power and is only for sound. My question is, what do you guys recommend for someone(me) who just wants a good sound without blazing loud noise.

My only other mod is a custom intake. I don't want to just chop off the mufflers, but will consider having an x-pipe and aftermarket mufflers welded on if someone has a good suggestion.

Alternatively, does anyone know where to get the cheapest price on company cat back systems? I remember there was somewhere with a magnaflow for like $660 or something, but can't remember where.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions guys.

Replacing the resonator with an x-pipe gives pretty good, but mild sound and costs a whole lot less than a $700 exhaust system. Also counts for weight reduction.
I'm running cutouts before the stock rear mufflers for the times I want some noise.
