take your muffler out if you have one, or the front cats, and if thats still not loud enough, longtubes, no cats, and no muffler....

I think the only way to get it louder is LT's or no cats at all

long tube headers. Either buy those or remove all your cats. Your truck really isnt loud enough for you? I have a 3" bullet with all my cats, CAI and its loud as hell.

Pfft! That's not loud.


Removing the small, front cats is about the cheapest/easiest thing to do right now (seeing as you want to keep the X-pipe)...

Replacing the X with an H pipe, or running no crossover at all would make it louder as well...

CEL will come on if you aren't running converters, and it will run like hell until you custom tune it.

I kinda figured you have no mufflers judging by how you did not list any in the original post. I would make the exhaust exit before tire, but unless you have the few hundreds for Longtubes, give OBX a call and get their $500 stainless set on order.
