Question on exhaust volume when adding headers and H/X pipe

[Moddiction]

I currently have stock exhaust except for a Corsa Performance Touring axle back. It is nice and quiet with zero drone which I love.
For performance reasons I plan to add some catted long tube headers. If I also added an H or X pipe to the exhaust would this most likely become a very loud exhaust? I really don't want it to be but want a full exhaust system. With the touring axle back being so quiet I would think it still wouldn't be too bad. Especially since the headers will be catted ones.
Anyone have any experience with same or similar exhaust setup?

Headers will add more of an exotic tone, eliminating the cats is what increases how loud the volume is. If you're keeping cats, you should have a 10-15% sound increase.

A member here posted a video with kooks headers and borla touring with the resonator, perfect setup! Changing your suitcase with an H or X pipe will definitely make your setup louder and i mean extremely louder! If you want to be quiter keep your suitcase or replace it with borla or similar resonator! X pipe adds rasp and h pipe is between rasp and deep! Resonator setup is just deep and quiet!

I should probably leave the stock resonator section then. I doubt that robs much if any hp does it? Long tube headers to stock resonator and then corsa touring axle back should sound really nice I think and make some nice power!

I just Installed The ARH long tube connect to Corsa Sport Cat back. Sound is amazing but very loud. Trying to decide on the best way to quiet it down a little bit.
