Default X Pipes

Been thinking about installing an X-Pipe on my `01 vert. I'm not looking for horsepower, just sound. I've got NXT Step exhaust on it now. I don't get any popping when decellerating but it does kinda burble.
Who makes an inexpensive pipe that works? I've done some searches but they're all old. I'd like to get rid of the burble and just maybe get better sound. They sound great now, no drone, I just want BETTER...

Thank you!
Pete O.

Pete,
I'm not sure what the NXT exhaust sounds like, I have the Corsa Pace Car on my 04, and it had the "motorboat" sound at idle, I purchased a Borla X pipe from summit, best price I found, shipped to the house for like $265. It was a pretty easy install, and I'm quite pleased with the sound. No more motorboat, just a nice rumble!!!

I ran a Bassani X-pipe on my '00 and really liked the quality and the way it took care of the resonance and popping I was experiencing.
