Default Loud Exhaust

I'm looking for something louder than my current setup in my sig but I want it to still sound good. I don't think the loudmouth setup is for me at all either. I love the sound of the Hooker but it just isn't loud enough for me, especially at low rpms. Money is tight also. What you guys suggest?

I had the Hooker Catback and switched out the muffler for a Magnaflow, much better.
It sounds great

I highly suggest TSP True Duals w/ Sweet Thunder mufflers. It sounds amazingly deep and if it's too loud for you then you can always have a local shop extend the system out the back.

Well I love the way my car sounds and I got lots of compliments but it just isn't loud enough at lower RPM's. I'd like to find the least expensive way to increase the tone. Is there another muffler out there that I could just put in the hooker's place that is a good bit louder but still sounds good?

I am now kinda thinking about just removing my hooker muffler and kinda running a dynomouth setup with no cats. Would that sound the best or using a borla xr-1? Also where could I pick up the y to get rid of the hooker muffler?

I Got Pacesetter Lt's With And Offroad Y-pipe And A Loudmouth (original)...and That Bad Boy Is Loud! Good Deep Rumble At Idle And Low Rpms. A Borla Xr-1 Is Pretty Nifty Also.
