Well, everyone seems to go giddy for the JCW muffler (it does have a very unique, rorty tone) but if you don't feel like spending 4-500 bucks then maybe a Magnaflow 14816 would be up your alley. A few people have installed them and have been happy with the result. Plus, those double walled tips look sexy as hell.

Have you removed your resonator yet? Maybe that'll give you the tone you're looking for.

No problem. Here's my exhaust and how it sounds with nothing but a resonator delete R56 Mini Cooper S Resonator Delete (HD) While Driving - YouTube

So you think I should just remove the resonator and leave the stock muffler or do both

Dunno. I never installed a muffler but I'm pretty happy with how my car is now. I kinda wish it was louder though, it's pretty quiet from inside the cabin. Maybe you could get the OBX exhaust for 280 or so.
