Default Done full exhaust, how do i get a little louder?

So ive completed my exhaust on my 01 ws6. Mods are in sig but just for namings sake ill list them. Its 1 3/4 pacesetters with a TSP ypipe and gibson catback. I love the sounds of my exhaust its smooth and deep which is lovely... Except id like it to be louder especially at idle. Is my best bet to go with an electric cutout or is there anything else somebody would suggest? Appreciate all the help!

A cutout or a louder muffler would help a bit for sure, but along with that could come a different tone with rasp, popping, etc...

cut out or different muffler but like ^^^^^ already said, its going to completely change your sound. you could always throw in a cam and that will liven it up!!! :-)

Id cam it if i could i just dont have that kind of money (poor college kid with a girlfriend and a car that does 15mpg) so money gets burned pretty quickly for me. So im thinking cutout or muffler. Any suggestions on either? Id definitely be doing an electric cutout because i dont wanna spend so much time under the car capping and uncapping. As far as the muffler goes im fine with anything that makes me louder with minimal rasp. I dont mind popping as much

Do you have any sort of Cold air intake? That might give you a little more sound. Might not be noticeable with aftermarket exhaust though.

I wouldn't change your lid. Not worth anything to do so. Cutouts=drag car loud - not really desirable on a close to stock car. I sold my old headers, ORY, and GMMG and helped install it on my friend's TA. You can find the video on Youtube if you search my user name (same as here).

I know you said you don't want to get a new catback, but I have a similar setup except with a Texas Speed Rumbler catbback (around $260) and it's nice and loud. Almost too loud for me actually.
