Louder pops and bangs?

Hey all,

I have a 3.8 with a Magnaflow Catback Exhaust, but I'm looking to get louder pops and bangs, and if possible more sound at higher RPMs but not necessary, down low it's nice and burbly but up high it sounds stock, all with little to no rasp and no droning if possible.

I have some ideas but I'm not sure as to the effect:
- Resonator/Secondary-Cat Delete?
> (Lots of argument on the forums whether or not they're secondary cats or resonators)
> Maybe if they're actually cats, then delete or replace with resonators?

- Muffler Delete?
> Would kind of be wasting the money I spent on the Magnaflow Cat-Back exhaust if I did this

- Buy and install headers?

What do you all think? I've been searching google and Gencoupe all day yesterday and today and I'm seeing lots of mixed opinions (duh).

Even with secondary cats replaced with H pipe, pops/bangs are no where as loud as those with strait pipe exhaust/more aggresive exhaust. I belive magnaflow rear muffler crosses over exhaust (x pipe inside) too much muffling.
I think you need different rear mufler/s to get it pop loud...separate muffler can on each pipe.

I went down the road of test pipes with my Borla, and the rasp was unbearable to me. My solution has been perfect for me, but I’m not sure it will satisfy your want of louder pops. They’re fine for me, but it’s totally subjective. I had custom resonators built from Vibrant products. (1792 bottles and flanges). Crucial Motorsports in Orlando did the fab work and it was excellent.

I also have a 3.8, I want to get a new exhaust for the loudest pops and crackles possible, and I want to keep the exhaust as loud as I can, right now I just have an exhaust leak and I really like how it sounds but I want to get more back fire noise. Also If anyone has any recommendation on what exhaust I should go with, could you include if it’s possible to add a delete.

I also have a magnaflow exhaust with isr test pipes. I am tuned and fbo without headers. 8 A/T. My pops on downshifts just sound muffled. I get a lot of them but it’s just muffled and don’t have that pop pop pop sound that I want. Do you think headers or even a resonator delete will make them louder? I don’t wanna have to get a muffler delete on the cbe.
