45th anniversary rs

I recently bought a 2012 45th anniversary rs. I LOVE THIS CAR!!! I bought it all original with 75,000 miles. I'd like to keep it pretty original but I also want to make it mine. I'm looking for suggestions on modifying my exhaust. This is my daily driver. I leave for work at 430am and live in a retirement community. My question is which direction should I go? Different mufflers? Resonator delete? Change H pipe with X pipe? A combination of something? Basically I want to be able to idle out of the neighborhood without waking the neighbors but when I get on the road, I want to be able to hear it when I stand on it. Thanks.

Don't Change the Exhaust, unless you want to start a headache
and you live in a retirement community it will wake the neighbors
This is a V6 You have Mono Tubes for exhaust Manifolds.
I have heard you can change those out for better Sound
But most guys start with Muffler Delete, Bad, To loud for most
Then they put a Muffler back on, then the X pipe ( this is where i would start)
There are several good company's to Chose from as far as getting it louder just not better than the original Mufflers. reason is, its pretty good as far as flow
Check out utube V6 Camaro Sounds
Mine I'm running BBK headers with green Cats an stock exhaust, sounds good to me
