I would run it back and dump it before the back axle before I ran open headers.

u cant run just open headers it messes up the O2 sensors. u gotta run a bit of pipe back there to get the fresh air away from the O2's

Good X pipe setup sounds good and is good performance as well

nothing but pipe will sound like complete **** unless you like that farmtruck sound, get some bullet race mufflers on there and it will be loud and sound decent

put a cam in it (not only will it help make it louder, but it will also keep you from being a poser AKA all bark no bite)

Have you thought about installing a cutout? Unbolt your borla and thats how a cutout will sound, so you can see if that is loud enough for you.
