Default Exhaust Question for '01 XR6

Recently bought this car with a standard exhaust. My previous car was an ED XR6 with a 2.5" sports (all I can remember from the rec't was SP250, and $465). Anyway, I notice the new car labours a little up hills (unless you boot it) and doesn't have a good airflow at all, sometimes changing gears mid climb, which is damn annoying.

How big a difference would a decent, $500 range exhaust make on the AU? I really notice the difference from my ED, things like hills, also when you rev reasonably hard then drop off the accelerator (ed = good constant roll, AU = a big pullback on the car), and gearing.....where I found the sports exhaust made the gearbox much more punchy and reactive, where the AU is sedate (no matter econ/adaptive shift/perf modes).

Any help would be good.
