Default Need Exhaust Advice

I have an 08 XB. Recently I put the Borla axle back(single pipe) on it Well even my wife laughs at it. I didnt want anything that was so loud as to being annoying but this is no different than the stock pipe. I know this is a 4 cyl. But is there anything to make it sound a little more aggressive. I am not putting on a header but was thinking about removing that scuba tank underneath and just running a straight pipe back. Any opinions on what combos to try. Hate to keep making expensive mistakes

Thanks

Straigh pipe might be too loud or sound horrible... Lots of people are thinking abuut a hi-flow cat or glasspacks or even both...

My setup is the stock cat, mid reso, then straight pipes to dual custom exhaust. Sounds amazing.
