Increasing exhaust sound besides catback
So I wanted to increase the sound of my stock exhaust a little bit, without adding any drone or obnoxiously loud noise. I did a bunch of research and ended up getting the TOURING 86 exhaust from CSG, since that seemed to match what I was looking for. Unfortunately, this thing is much quieter than I expected. The tone is great, but it seems the same or barely louder than stock. That's what I was looking for when researching, but I guess I expected that "barely louder" part to be a bigger step up decibel wise.
Outside of replacing it with another catback, what else can I do to bump up the sound some? I know a UEL header can increase the sound, but I think those are fairly expensive. I already spent $900 on this catback. I'm also not looking to increase hp by any significant amount. |

UEL Header + Axleback will give what you are looking for

I know this sounds like a joke but, you could put your backseats down. You'll be able to hear the exhaust better.

To be fair, you wont get 100+HP by changing the headers. So get yourself TOMEI, Borla, HKS, JDL, etc headers and get rid of that torque dip. Don't forget to tune. You could make the exhaust note higher by replacing the front pipe. Since you have stock headers, you could get away with going catless front pipe.

My exhaust tone has been much nicer without being overly loud after knocking out my defective 1* cat. I have a Borla axle back.

Since I already spent $ on a catback, was hoping for a solution that doesn't cost another $1k. Maybe a catless front pipe would be the cheapest option? |

Fair enough, didn't know you were FI. Catless front pipe would be a good option. Even cheaper, cutting the cat of the OEM F.P and welding another piece to make up or the removed section. I have seen others gutting the F.P cat too.
