Stage 3 exhaust, aem cai...now what?

So I have an AEM CAI and stage 3 exhaust (mid-muff delete & dynomax). Don't get me wrong, I think it sounds very crisp and clean, but I want something a little bit louder and aggressive. What would you guys recommend, im not very knowledgeable on exhaust setups. Should I get a catback, j-pipe, test pipe etc....? (cost is an issue, otherwise I would jump on ATLP in a heartbeat)

I think if you go to Richie's site you can get out with Precats, Jpipe, and test pipe for less than a catback exhaust. A little bit over 500? I would say? That, shit will get you some pull for sure. are you just going for sound? They say precat deletes with some combinations will sound raspy.

There are big power gains to be had with the j-pipe. Of course there are more gains too with an aftermarket catback exhaust but if cost is an issue start with the j-pipe.

Precats will make your car sound raspy with the stage three setup. I have the stage 3 as well too and I am getting ready do a custom from the y pipe back. I bought a magnaflow y-pipe and have quad mufflers just need to get them put on.
