Question exhaust sound

hey guys, so i just cut my muffler off and kept the tailpipe. its sounds pretty nice but i still might want it a little louder.. and suggestions. what if i cut the tail pipe off and just dump it after the cat? will that make it louder?


thanks.

I had the pipe rot off a 4cy right after the hdr. It was loud enough to set off car alarms

I cut mine off. I do not recomend doing it. sure it sounds good, but loosing all the low end power and no back pressure is awful. I finally got tired of it and finally put a thrush on
