Best x-pipe for performance and intake sounding exhaust

What's up everyone I have a 2014 v6 camaro rs and I'm looking for help picking out an x-pipe and also an exhaust. I'm looking for a quality sound nothing crazy loud just like a quality import/intake sound. Thank y'all!

I'm running the magnaflow resonated x-pipe. Probably the best option for the V6

arkentect, is that video with stock headers and down-pipes/cats? Then the x-pipe with straight-pipe back? 2.25" or 2.5" pipe? And how does it sound while driving normally, like around 1750 RPM?

I did the x-pipe and 2.5" straight-pipe back but found the drone kinda masked the sound under normal driving, so I threw on j-pipes but now at around 1750 (where I drive most of the time...!) there is a bit of a high-pitch drone-like sound which I'm not terribly in favour of; this noise was probably there before but I just couldn't hear it.

Eventually I want to add the Solo cats but until then I'm adjusting these j-pipes to try and hide the noise; if I can't get rid of it I might even try taking out one of the j-pipes (just cap it near the beginning) and see what happens; figure I'll get some drone like before but less intense since only half the exhaust is creating said drone, and maybe it'll be enough to hide the noise like before too.

This video is the stock headers, and cats. After the cats it goes to 2.5" pipe to the resonated x-pipe where the stock hpipe was. From there its 2.5" straight pipe to the tips. It does drone in 6th gear at 60mph, but I didn't straight pipe my car for it to be a cadillac inside. I'll have an update video soon too because I'm putting Longtube headers on this spring and going catless.
