if you want to make it louder w/o sounding like shit, consider cutting off the resonator in the mid/rear pipe that leads the muffler and replacing with a straight pipe(s).

Haha this reminds me of the day I took off an exhaust from my s2k and went out for the drive.
My bro crapped his pants when I gave him a ride. It is so damn loud and obnoxious. Rice as hell to the finest. |

a) removing resonator b) replacing muffler c) both quietest to loudest in that order. but after listening to both B and C, A is probably your best option. its cheapest in labor and parts. and if you don't like it, you can always go from there. |

and from my general experience with other cars, i remember my full-catback on my previous car was too loud. i was running aftermarket 2.5" cat with downpipe, straight pipe and free flow muffler. awesome performance since it let the turbo really breathe but the drone was killing me. ultimately, i kept the free flow pipe but put on the stock muffler. no real decrease in performance and sounded a bit louder than stock under load, at idle couldn't even tell i had anything under there. |
