550i Xpipe question

There have been a lot of xpipe threads, but I don't know exhausts that well and not sure what to do.

I have a 2014 550i, purchased M5 mufflers and cut and welded on. Sounds a lot better but it's no longer enough. Which xpipe solution should I go with?

Or should I just put a full CP exhaust on?

Thanks

When I installed the M5 mufflers I removed the mid muffler. I find the sound is loud enough. I always wanted to know is there a benefit for an xpipe? Since the mid muffler combined both pipes which then separated out to the mufflers.
