Default Louder exhaust?

I am looking to make my exhaust a little louder. I do not want to switch to true duals either. I like the back bumper filled up on the T/A. Any ideas on what to try with the mods in my sig?

The hooker I have screams at WOT but it just isn't loud enough for my taste down low but I've been told by a lot of people that it sounds awesome. I think it sounds really good too but just not quite loud enough yet...

I have a hooker and I like it, but it is too quiet at low rpm's. What I did is I put sa cutout after the Y-pipe

Just throw a big cam in there...that'll make it louder and provide some serious gains wihtout screwing around w/ swapping exhausts.

"Loudmouth." I'm fixing to install pacesetter header's and ORY; after the ORY, the rest of exhaust(Loudmouth) is 3", good for a deep rumble. My car sounds good right now, with just the loudmouth. I just want it louder at idle, and low RPM, because I have a 2.73 gear A4, and I really don't get up in the RPMs unless I'm racing.

I have to loudmouth with off road y and pacesetters and it quite loud. But as stated above, I'd throw in a cam to make it louder. You've got an A4 like me and that equals drone on the highway with my exhaust setup.

i wish you lived closer, we could just switch. I have the LM2 and it's just tooooo loud for me anymore (daily commutes to the city). I want something that's quieter at idle. Damn.

If you are looking at the LM, it is what it says! It's loud. Trust me. I had MAC Mids, MAC ORY, and original LM. The car was raspy at times but I like it at first. I put the cam in it, and it was toooo loud!! I couldn't take it. So I went with the LMII. It made it a lil quiter, but it still wasn't enough. So I added sound deadening. It seems to be fine now, but I am changing my whole exhuast setup! If you do go with the LM, it is very loud with aftermarket headers and ory, just to warn you!

I wanted louder so I recently ordered the qtp dual cutout y pipe, if that doesnt solve my quest for more noise, i'll look into some cams.
