My B&B with an SLP H-Pipe sounds pretty mean... too mean actually. Very gurgly. I think I want to tone it down.

You want really mean sounding exhaust, skip the mufflers (or go with small bullet mufflers).

Go with Borla straight pipes (no x-pipe), Magnaflow Magnapack (with x-pipe) or SLP Loudmouth (no x-pipe, I believe).

If you are local, I can show you my Magnapack.

I have B&B Bullets and LG Pro no cats the car isn't that loud at all(not being sarcastic) from what people here said I was expecting nascar sound : Seriously cruising around town with this set up and keep it below 2K RPM I can still listen to music and carry a conversation. It drones bad though after 2K RPM. Cold start though in the morning will be a little loud but once it's warmed up it's pretty quiet at idle. If you want quiet at cruise and idle but loud and high pitch at WOT I would go with corsa pace car I have not heard it in person, but from all the vids I've seen they sound great. Good luck
