Questions about loudness
Mrt v1, manual v6
The question is: i want to mak it louder, i want to wait before i do headers for warranty to expire I have heard there are 4 cats, and also resonators, one thing i am open to is doing the magnaflow x pipe, what can i do to make my car louder? Is there a way to get rid of the 4 cats, and would that make it louder?

they replace the cats with tubing... You can have a high flow cat or an off road connection behind that. How do you have a warranty if you have a 2010?

Ahh, didn't see you were V6. Not sure how those cats are mounted or the stock exhaust setup.
On the LS3/L99, the cats are connected to the stock exhaust manifold.

Dude just search/do research, there are literally hundreds of threads regarding header swaps.

Real sound improvement will only come from changing out the headers, assuming shorties are your only option if you're waiting for the warranty. Research in the v6 engine, exhaust, and bolt-on's thread for how your header set up comes on the car. Then either get rid of the cats or get high flow ones. Still want it louder? Ditch the axleback and get a full 3in catback. Most will offer small performance gains and delete the factory resonator as well as replace the h pipe with some sort of x pipe.
Assuming you're talking about the Magnaflow resonated x pipe, do not do this. It will make your car quieter. Without adding a catback, messing with the stock h pipe is pointless.

I was going to save the x pipe for the headers, i have bbk long tube headers, i'm just extremely confused about the whole cats thing, the cats that have two on both sides, the headers come with these tiny little pipe things, how does that get rid of the cats? That's what i'm not understanding

And going louder on a V6 isn't always better. Exhausts sound good to a certain point, then they become obnoxious and horrible sounding.
