Default Exhaust upgrade

I would like to make the exhaust on my 2005 roadster a bit louder and have more of a rumbling sound. Any ideas on how to or where to?

I have Magnaflo cat backs on both my Roadster and Coupe and I like the sound. I purchased a now rare, out of production, NOS Borla I'm thinking of trying. Many forum members also like them. My understanding is they are not as loud. They have a separate resonator chamber. I believe the OBX is a clone of the Borla.

Yes, OBX is a Borla that speaks Chinese.

I have a MF dual in /out, deleted rear cats and installed the MF where rear cats where and dual 2.25 back, got rid on the sharp bends and dual angled and slant tips on each so a quad tip in the center, I love the sound and got rid of the drone while cruising.

Strange, I have the Magnaflo cat back on mine and don't notice any drone.
Of course I am old, hearing may to be that good. Another thing, I don't ussally
keep my RPM's steady. Like the sound and punch it a lot.

There is a tiny bit, but not objectionable to me.
