Sell your Flowmasters and buy Borlas or if you want really loud SLP or Mac. Also Try an off road H-Pipe The X-Pipe is loud, but also Raspy. There are a lot of videos on youtube with many different combinations. That should help you out

I use to run 40 series Flowmaster with the O/R X (Mac O/R X) and it sounds way louder. If you like the Flows now then get the X and you'll love it. I had no drone with that setup either.

Which Flowmasters do you run? I have 40 series and they are very nice. I liked them so much I put the same on my truck.

On the other question.....the low rumble or loping you hear on the old muscle cars is caused by the camshaft. The amount of lift and duration etc. New cars are pretty hard to get that sound because our computers fight it the whole time. I build up a late model truck one time; it had a nice rumble, but the computer tried to compensate for it the whole time.

To have the lope at idle like old muscle car sounds you need cams.

Why would you want it to sound even louder?
