Well, who could argue with such a well thought out statement!....I have Hooker headers, Hooker X-pipe with Bullets and the sound is amazing...

more rumble and less rasp starts at the midpipe. Change to an H for the sound you're looking for. X's will always be raspier than H's. I don't know how much your muffler selection will help until you address the basic note of the exhaust with an H pipe.
