Personally I don't like the sound of the straight pipe, it's just too loud and on the N20 it sounds like a lawnmower. Personally I really like the sound of just muffler delete from what I've seen on YouTube. You can also modfiy the muffler by removing some of the sound deadening material and reattaching it if you want a more reserved yet louder sound.
Getting the downpipe will let you hear the burbles and crackles but you'll get a check engine light unless you have a tune or you code it out. Catless DP will give you about a 10-15HP bump, and as long as the job is down well you won't get any nasty smell.

Thanks for the reply, and yeah I saw that video definitely way to loud and annoying for what I'm looking for. I like the sound of a muffler delete but in my state I won't pass inspection with out a muffler/ fully straight piped. And I was just googling videos on youtube trying to find examples of the exhausts I was looking into. Thats why I was looking into the dinan and other exhausts but they all sound pretty similar to stock/ not deeper and louder but not excessive.,
