SS owners on this site have tried various combinations when altering the exhaust. Honestly, coring that 2nd cat seems to be the only proven way of obtaining any extra HP.
If it's just the sound you're after, then you could go with a muffler delete. A little warning though on that. Several have tried it (me included), but ended up with that "drone" noise at cruising speeds.
I went back with the muffler listed in my sig and like it.
If you're trying to get that low growling rumble like a V8, won't ever happen because it is just a 122 cubic inch 4 banger.

I guess be careful what you wish for. You're in a small town, pedestrians will hear you coming even stock. Most people in their cars won't hear you regardless, between their own loud exhaust, loud music, air conditioning on, windows up, etc.
Do as you will, but do your homework, there's a lot of information here, use that search window and share with us whatever system you find you like!
