How to make my beast even meaner sounding?

Right now, I have Supersprint X Pipe and Kelleners Exhaust. I absolutely love the exhaust note, but wish it was louder. I love the drone under 2k rpms and I try to keep it there as much as possible cruising around town to 'annoy' people but when the exhaust goes above 2k, it quiets down a lot, and I don't like that, my question is, how can I make it scream crazy loud throughout the rev range?

I was thinking SS headers and race cats?

i've put straight pipes and emptied the 4 backboxes, but before i've tried to weld straight pipes into the original backboxes; man, it sounded too loud!, then i re opened the backboxes and emptied them again...so if you got straight pipes instead of resonators and an empty backbox at the end you have the possibility to run "quiet" because if you don't floor the throttle the empty backboxes act as silencers, but if you floor it sounds pretty loud, i think the perfect compromise would be to have 2 emptied backboxes and two with straight pipes inside.

Glad you don't live around me, sounds like you like a little too much attention.

But to answer your question, add Supersprint headers and cats.

I never had a problem w/ the SES... I also have used Trick o2 sensors.. It makes the computer think you have 02 sensors on even when you dont...

But the random cats are legit cats

Haha, I don't like to annoy my neighbors, I always coast into my driveway in neutral to make it as quiet as possible, but when out on a open road, especially mountain roads or highways, I like the car to scream.

This Lafayette resident hopes that by "open road" you don't mean the byways through Lafayette (for others...Moraga is a landlocked town that can only get to the local freeways by driving through my town, Lafayette, or another town, Orinda).
