Depends. 2.5" magnaflow resonated x pipe with 2.5" straight pipes sounds the best IMO.

Id rather not spend any money on stuff i have to order. I already have both a v6 and v8 exhaust and the materials to do a muffler delete so thats what i want to stick to.

Just a muffler delete will sound raspy. V8 exhaust is your best bet currently I think. It certainly flows better and would sound better.
If you can manage an extra $100ish I would seriously consider the magnaflow resonated x with the SS exhaust.

i have muffler delete with magnaflow resonated x-pipe and stock resonators, using the stock v6 exhaust. no matter which exhaust you use (v6,v8) it will sound raspy when you cut the mufflers off. if you do cut the mufflers off you will want to run new pipe out to the back of the car.

Like stated before, you have the best sound you're going to get. Muffler delete with either system will sound raspy as hell without a resonated x pipe.
