Default TD tail pipes and/or muffler swap to Magnaflows?

I think my setup is too quiet. My current setup is nice, especially with the cam and I don't have any drone but I would like something a little louder.

Don't know if tailpipes would be the solution to what I want but I think I may need to swap the mufflers as well. Would tailpipes change the sound that much?
Also, thinking about changing out my edlebrocks to something else, maybe the Magnaflow 4x9s? I know they are straight through and a full 3" ID. I believe my edlebrocks neck down to 2.5" inside. Same readson I ruled out the sweet thunders because they only have a 2.5" core, regardless of a 3" outside.

How's the drone with the magnaflows? I was also considering the magnpacks but I think they might drive me crazy with drone.

I have the magnaflows 4" round body mufflers and there is no drone. I have them over the axle. If you think your dumps are quiet these will probably be to quiet also. I have some pics at my webpage in my sig.

The tone is extremely deep. There is no drone or interior resonance. At idle it is deep and tame. At part throttle there is a nice powerful tone. At WOT it is look at me loud. But for me at no time is it to loud. I think in comparison to the bullets these would be slightly tamer but I could be wrong. The 4x9's would probably be a step quieter than the 4" round body mufflers.

The proble I have is that I have a full 3" exhaust and believe the Edlebrocks neck down to 2.5".
First and foremost, it has to be stainless. Right now I am considering the Magnapacks or Magnflow 4x9s. I saw that Stainless Works has a 3" round bullet (in Jegs) but fear it may be a 2.5" core. Does anyone know?

WHat does anyone think about waiting for the QTP stainless cutout and added them to my scheme?
