How would the E55 sound if you just did 2.5" or 2.75" pipe from the Xpipe all the way to the back to the tips? better? worse?

Ah, I understand. You deleted the resonator and in it's place put a x-pipe. Now, you want to go straight pipes from the x-pipe thus deleting the two mufflers. It's going to be loud. I bet it's exactly what you're looking for. Give it a try and let us know.
I'm not too familiar with the 55K engine but I think you might lose some backpressure with the muffler delete, hence some loss of torque. Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

what is a good aftermarket muffler if that turns out too loud? I want a really throaty sound.
Should I cut the cats off? or will that throw codes?

I think you will like the sound of the mufflers delete. If not, then Eisenmann Race will set you back between $2K - $2,5K. I think you can find used ones for sale in the Classified forum every now and then.

I'm pretty sure a muffler delete is not as loud as open headers.
As for what kind of tips, I'm not sure but I have heard that tips do have an impact on resonance, whether you'll have a lot or not.

Here's a sound clip right before i removed the remaining cats(Secondary). Basically it's the Kleeman headers, Primary Cats Removed, Secondary Cats Intact, Resonator Delete, and Eisenmann Race exhaust
