If you want real sound try a unreasonate air hat and a resonator muffler.

I just finished looking at their website, comparing the different models. I
think I'm gonna go with the 40 series Delta Flow, I want it loud too :) The
only difference I can see between the original and delta flow, like you
said, is the marginal performance gains due to the delta flow baffles and
the slightly diminished interior noise with the delta flow. I'd like to be
able to hear my radio every once in a while, but deafen everyone else on
the outside :P Now my next decision is the pipes, it's either going to be a
3" in/dual 2.5" out or a 3" in/3" out with a split just past the axle to
dual tips (saw some pics of a guy that did that in the same style I want,
GTS style, both pipes exiting right under the license plate next to each
other). Does anyone know if there's any performance difference between
these two setups? Thanks.
