Or you could get a catback system with a bullet muffler, I have the TSP rumbler with no cats,,and it is LOUD scares kids on the sidewalk and adults when I downshift on the highway,,kinda funny. Or you could swap to a true dual system.

The Magnaflow muffler is pretty quiet, especially if it is fairly new. Swap the muffler out for a 40 series flow master,it is loud as hell, will scare people and what not. You don't always gain HP because your exhaust is louder. You need some back pressure to make torque.

LOL, thats why the Flow master came off of mine. Idling right in front of a cop makes your B-hole a little tight.
I like the Magnaflow, nice and quiet at idle and boy it lets loose when you step on it! But, he wants it loud, maybe just a weekend car or something.

Cutout with electronic butterfly plate. So you can have loudness on demand.
