Without spending a lot I was thinking magnaglow, I have heard a few clips on you tube and they sound good but I font know if they just did the mufflers or anything else.

I have Miltek non-resonated in my S8. Sounds exactly like this:

Hard to believe after looking at that, but it is quiet at cruising speed on the highway, no "drone." Highly recommended but will cost you some dough. How much do you want to spend?

I would love to spend less than $400 or $500 at the most, not really sure what I could do for that.

The best thing you could possibly do for that money is purchase a VAG-COM and Bentley manual. You'll get more return out of those two items than any exhaust system upgrade.

My Q45 had a pretty wicked two stage exhaust and like all Infinitis, had a great exhaust note. I believe most of the newer cars that get loud when you get on them are just using a bypass flap in the muffler. These are available aftermarket though they are expensive.
As far as not getting good results on a budget, I disagree. The most expensive part of that exhaust is going to be the stock stainless steel piping which has the least to do with sound. 90% of your sound is going to come from your choice of resonator and mufflers.
