Default Pipes Reccomendation

I was thinking I would not mod my pipes but after further consideration, I decided I would like to get something perhaps. I was wondering if anyone could give a reccomendation for a slip-on pipe that is a little louder and more aggressive than stock but not overly aggressive or obnoxiously loud. I would want to keep it legal so I wouldn't get in troule with law enforcement or have people call the cops on me in my area. This is entirely aesthetics and I don't care about performance. Are all aftermarket pipes sonic booms or do they make some that are more subdued but better than stock? I would especially like a pipe that has a nice throaty rumble at idle but doesn't go balistic when you hit the throttle.

Just drill your stock pipes if your worried about the law and all... Actually it doesnt matter what you do the law can get you for what ever pipes you put on. Some people will argue this, and could possibly be right. I thought if you change anything from the factory exhaust it was considered illegal. Honestly though if you dont act like an idiot you probably wont have a problem.

I think the SE slip ons have a nice tone. Not too loud.
