I've considered test pipes, as they are only a few hundred bucks and I seem to have read it makes it a good bit louder. I was thinking about buying AAM short tails and having a muffler shop cut part of the short tails to make it fit the FI X-pipe, but I have a hard time giving up the beautiful muffler cans on the FI exhaust.
Also just installed a non-res FI exhaust on my buddies and it seems a little louder than my 12" but not much.
Any suggestions? Anyone think test pipes would add a decent amount of volume and call it a day.

I'd say first figure out exactly how much louder you'd like to go.
if you want some volume I'd actually go test pipes first. it adds a good bit of power due to losing the super restrictive cats. also dropping mufflers will add more sound than test pipes.
I run non-res TP and non-res CBE with CF mufflers. I thought that wasn't loud enough so I have a custom set of short tails to match and mate with FI system. the volume goes from loud to WTF when I switch out the mufflers for straight pipe sections.
