X pipe installed on a SL55

I spoke with my mechanic today and decided I wanted to get a x-pipe installed, also take out the 2 resonators.

I'm debating whether I should take out both resonators or just one. I've heard Murtaza's SL with a straight pipe, which sounded good but not quite sure how it would sound with a x-pipe.. what would you guys recommend to modify my exhaust for a more noticeable sound? It's a daily driver so I don't want it to be ridiculously loud

where do you want to get the x-pipe installed? before the resonators and just after the 2nd cat?

If it's a dialy driver I'd be weary about gutting any resonators/mufflers etc...may make it drone or be to loud up top.

What size pipes are you thinking about going with? 3"?
Isn't stock 2.75"

I'd like a little bit more volume too but still quiet while cruising

Well the guy told me its not worth getting the X pipe since the piping is already set up properly with the correct amount of airflow in each pipe.. so instead I got my resonators taken out

only the 2 big ones were taken out, heres how it sounds like
