Default Exhaust changes, need help !

Hey guys I was hoping to get some help on this I saw this video today on facebook of an ecoboost with a Borla XR-1 4 in 4 out round muffler and a 6 inch tip that sounds just awesome so my question is would that muffler and this tip fit to my solo-performance MR400 system? Here's all the links, thanks in advance, any advice would be great !

What are you wanting to achieve? Better sound, less volume, etc?

Honestly, I wouldn't hack the solo system. You don't know what's going to happen with both drone and volume.

I wanna get a louder and deeper sound.. That's why I wanted to get some advice first cause I don't know much about exhausts systems, so do you have any other suggestions?
If I end up without changing I'll be fine too I love the sound but seeing that video got me thinking

It's a video, you really do not KNOW what it sounds like. Videos can be very misleading.

It's going to be difficult to get a deeper sound. Solo is known for being deeper than most others. If you want louder, that's easy. An off-road down pipe (no converters). If you can't go without converters then aftermarket down pipe with converters. It will get louder.

Down pipe will make louder and also a bit raspier.

Yeah seriously! My cammed Corvette sounds like it's in a wind tunnel when I try to get an audio clip on video.

Fair enough, I was comparing to my own sound clip. But you are right

Louder is my main want anyhow.. I'll have to look into the down pipes then, any specific ones it should look into. And also maybe a dumb question but why wouldn't I be able to go without converters? I'm new to this section of mods.
