Yes if you cut the tailpipes under the bumper it will make it louder because the sound vibrates of the underbody of the car. i have custom tailpipes that turndown before the back bumper. Louder than straight tailpipes

looking at your sig i would have to say, maybe a 40 series flowmaster, and some headers.

also, the 80 series you speak of, is it a full cat back or just the muffler...if its just the muffler, id recommend a full cat back
