Magnaflow Catback Exhaust Question

Hey guys, so I have had my Magnaflow Catback Exhaust for a while now and I love it especially the low rumble it has. I just wanted to know if I could do anything to make it a bit louder. I don't want it obnoxiously loud, but somewhere in the middle. Any ideas or suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys!

Adding headers (catted or uncatted) will increase the sound and power. Unless you're concerned about emissions.

Yeah I figured a UEL header would do the trick and not worried about emissions since I live in Florida. Thanks for the input!

Start with a header, you appreciate the power. If you are more concerned sound, go UEL. If you want the most power go EL. If you do either and you're still not loud enough, then do a midpipe.

I'll back that up...I had a Nameless over/front pipe with my Magnaflow and it sounded good. I didn't try it with a header though, so I can't speak on that.

+1 for UEL header

As others have stated, that's going to give you more sound and power. Plus, UEL will give you more "Subi-rumble" in comparison to equal length
