Making my cat-back louder

So I purchased the Borla Touring Cat-Back system and was disappointed with how quiet it is. I prefer a louder sounding truck but still wish to keep my current system on. Any ideas on how to make it louder? Would taking the pipes off after the muffler help? Thanks guys.

Have you removed the resonator?

A 3" straight pipe

I ended up simply removing the tailpipes earlier today. The sound is exactly what i was going for it still has that low growling sound but it is a fair bit louder. Doesn't drone and doesn't sound like a straight pipe either. I'm thinking that since the exhaust is coming out under the body the sound is being slightly amplified.

Also I think the truck looks better without two silver tips coming out behind the rear passenger wheel

Great advice, a little more effort but worth it. Did you use turndowns?

Nope I have the roush system which deletes the resonator. I'm thinking about making it a turndown though

Nice, I wonder how much that would change the sound? Deleting the resonator seems to be a common theme among "louder systems".

I would give it a shot. Keep your resonator though in case you don't like it. I personally like it though. Nice sound

I have the Dirty Deeds catback which is also res delete. Took a while to get used to the rumble with the side exit.
I was enquiring with the OP in mind. Even a stock exhaust sounds great without a resonator.
