Need advice on cheap exhaust mods
I apologize if this has been discussed but I couldn't find anything definitive through searching. I'm looking to make my exhaust truly sound like a v8, but I don't want to spend 600+ on an aftermarket exhaust.
I've read a lot about muffler and resonator deletes, and I don't want any excess cabin drone. I want it to just have a nice bassy tone without being loud enough to attract attention.
I was thinking maybe the best setup for me would be a muffler delete with resonated tips, what do you guys think? Any advice or personal experience is welcomed. Thanks!

In for info as well..
I can tell you I have Tanabe medallion axle backs, PPE headers, and stock resonators, and my car is very quiet at idle, and still really quiet even at WOT. So I think the stock resonators really do a great job killing the noise.
I want to do cut out some (or all) resonators too, but I'm not sure which one to start with, the big one or the two little ones.

The only helpful clip I found in the exhaust thread was this one. I don't know if the sound quality is crappy or what but it doesn't sound that great at about 2k rpm. Is that the drone that I fear? Lol
Should I be considering resonated tips or is the video just bad quality?
