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.

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.
