Default Make 4.0L louder???

There's a guy with a 3.4L V6 Firebird who has one flow master Muffler with 2 pipes coming from and it's louder than my 4.0L with true dual and 40 Series flowmaster mufflers. Is there something that makes a car louder without headers such as performance Catalitic converters? The guy told me he had performance cats and I was wondering if anyone knows if that makes much of a difference??? Please fill me in on anything anyone might know because I'm really interested! Thanks!

To answer your question, yes you can get high flow cats that will make it louder.

I'm going to reply to my own message lol. I need to get a sound clip of this firebird that way you can get a better understanding of it because I was literally shocked when he told me it was a V6. I'll see about doing that!

P.S. Mustang's are still better *cough*

high flow cats, will not give you that much of a performance gain tho, and the sound increase is barely anything to tlak about, but yes there is a tad increase
