Default Exhaust advice needed!

I am still up in the air with what to do with my exhaust. I did the UK mod and for me its just not enough. I have spent time on here listening to sound clips are ready.
This is what I have it narrowed down to. Your advice is welcomed. I dont mind an aggressive sound even if its a bit on the loud side but not ridiculous.
I was thinking of these next steps-
Adding a test pipe to coincide with the UK mode to see if this gets me into the area I am looking for with sound.
THIS IS WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW, If I go with a muffler delete just straight pipes is it going to be too loud? Should I do mufflers delete with or without a test pipe? Which is better for performance?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Go with a test pipe first, best performance wise and easy to swap back.

Straight pipes are LOUD. I'm talking V-8 American muscle loud. My exhaust broke at the weld right before the mufflers and I couldn't drive for more than 15 mins without being annoyed. It sounds good for only a little bit, then it just gets obnoxious. If I were you I'd look into getting the HKS.

s2000's with uk mods and test pipes. i say go for test pipes first, easy to swap out.
i have heard a muffler delete in person, sounded not too bad outside the car, not sure about in cabin though and it was pretty loud.
