Exhaust question

So I have a 2016 kia forte5 sx and I want my car louder but nothing crazy I was wondering if anyone has ever just like cut the the resonator off and if that would be enough or something like that. Like not adding pipes just removing what's there would it sound good or be to loud or what I'm just not sure.

Removing a section of pipe would be god awful loud.

It is risky.
Exhausts are hard to do as it is very subjective what is a nice rumble vs droning noise.

Some drop the resonator and cats replacing with a Down Pipe (DP). It will make a bit more noise, but not terribly. Also, DP brings the turbo spool out much more.

i have been looking for the same thing for quite a while but haven't decided to push the order button on any of the options. As of right now im thinking of getting one fabricated for me but here is a link to another "option" if you want to take a look at it. (not sure of quality)
