Default Improving Exhaust

i recently installed a dual exhaust system (flowmaster) on my 03 mustang 3.8l and kept all 4 cats on the exhaust system. its not as loud as i would want it to be. i know its not an 8cyl, but i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how to improve my sound.

long tube headers and high flow cats. Its the best exhaust sound you can get on our sixers without a cam and headwork.

yea get rid of the flowmasters too lol. if your on a budget just stay with your stock headers and get a mac mid pipe, weld in some hi flow cats, get a catback off a gt!

if you got da money!!! get the long tubes, a mac mid pipe for long tube, weld in hi flow cats, and get a catback off a gt.

^ mine came off a gt! came off a 2000 gt as a matter of fact. and iv seen it both ways 1 those who dont want noise but want power leave in the stock gt mufflers. 2 those who want noise and power (like me) cut out the stock gt mufflers and puts in two summit mufflers

no kidding..I also had a 50$shipped deal on two Magna High Flow Cats with 3k on them.... . Lottery tickets just get you to lose $$ faster...But "you never know" (whoever made that slogan up is a genius...) I haven't bought a lottery ticket yet...sorta "saving" my luck..ehh false hope sucks.
