Default piping question

Ok so i took off the big pipe in the middle of our xb's and it sounds like a big ___ rice rocket and a broken tractor going at high speed. But i just unbolted it from the header and just had it coming out close to the header. I have the borla exhaust and i wanted to straight pipe that completely so it comes out the borla. will it sound the same (ricey) coming out of the borla? is there something smaller i could put in place of that big ___ scuba tank???

Has anyone else done this or custom?

Put a glass-pack in place of the scuba tank... 15-21" depending on your preference.

Im gonna buy a magnalflow cat and replace it with that. Maybe that will not make it so loud but make it a little bit louder

I dont want that rice sound and i dont want it to loud. I just want it a little louder than the borla. But with no muffler and taking off that big scuba tank i know its gonna sound like a rice rocket. But will adding the glasspack make it more quiet but add a little sound?
