Next step after Stage 3 exhaust?

So I just installed the stage 3 exhaust (Mid muffler delete and dynomax resonator) it sounds great but I wish it was a little louder and more noticeable when driving by. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can make it louder without spending more than $150-200?

the next number after 3 is 4, so stage 4.

Replace your rear mufflers with magnaflow. I'm pretty sure that makes it louder. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Stage 4 will sound like crap. Adding aftermarket mufflers will make a difference but it isnt worth it imo. There are sound clips of this on youtube so check it out. A jpipe could also help as well.

Adding PCD and J-pipe will make it loud and awesome under WOT. But moderate acceleration will sound like garbage.

Double what you want to spend and get a j-pipe. Or spend $70 and get a test pipe for the main catalytic converter. Getting rid of the main cat (for off road use only, of course ) might be enough to get the sound level you want and pick up at least some performance.
