Default Looking for a different Muffler/resonator

Hey guys, I have mac midlengths and ORY. I had some ghetto catback on there before from when i bought the car, it was loud as **** and sounded sweet but exhaust was only working out of one pipe and it was falling apart. SO this past year i bought a Hooker Catback to replace it. I have to say i'm a little dissapointed it's a little too quiet for my liking. I want something more raw and with some rumble to it. Any suggestions as to what i could swap in without buying a whole new catback? I've been listening to soundclips and theres just too many combo's and not enough people have the MAC mids. Heres a vid of my car with the Hooker exhaust.

I had the Hooker mkyself and thought it was too quiet. After a few months it got louder. The Hooker is one of the quieter catback out there but is also one of the better sounding. Both of the clips I just watched sounded good and the Hooker was pretty loud.

Your only option as to what you could swap in without buying a new catback is a cutout somewhere before the muffler.

When I had my Mac mids I went with custom True Duals with an H pipe and bullets. It sounded awesome IMO and probably would have been better with sweet thunders.

Stick with the Hooker and remove the CATS & eventually add LT's. Just in removing the CATS will make you want to keep thwe Hooker, it comes to life with less restriction comin to it.
