Current setup is headers, no cats, and 96 LT4 exhaust. I'm considering adding cats and swapping the resonator for an x-pipe but until I hear that setup I'm unwilling to make the change ... I don't want it any louder than it currently is.

Wives are not all alike, THANK GOD!!
My Ami asked for side pipes for her 69 chrome bumper Vert to "Make it
more rumbley." With the top down & cruising - it is
loud. Step on it and you can shout and the person beside you wouldn't even know you made a sound!
But, back to the SW X pipe, I believe they offer (or did for a while) an X pipe with a "cheese grater" liner, intended to quiet drone a bit in lieu of the resonator the X pipe replaces. I wonder if anyone here has tried that version, and if so, what their thoughts might be?
Power Sticks makes a (3") stainless steel bullet type muffler, again with the "cheese grater" lining.
Initially, I intended to replace the (nasty) stock 90 resonator with them, but I sold them unused to Lee, after hearing Pete and Bob G's cars with the NPP and hearing the really nice "big V8 rumble" (and noting their track times at the strip(s) too!). But, I remain curious about the sound they would have made.
