Wanting louder recommendations please

Currently have long tube headers with magna-flow exhaust, cam and Whipple.

Couple of friends recommended cutting off mufflers and going straight pipes, but shops around the Texas area state wont pass inspection. What do people suggest to make have a beefier idle and in general louder to piss off neighbors more

Not sure which Magnaflow you have, but you might consider replacing it with a muffler with straight high flow design like chambered or glasspack. The shorter, the louder.

I dont mind replacing exhaust if going to give me better sounds as well. So any recommendations on both ends would be great. One shop suggest flow master but have heard some borla that sounds good.

electric cutouts, google it. i want a set myself. welded onto the exhaust, just past the headers, can be opened or closed with a flick of a switch.

Yea if you dont mind spending some cash the Noweeds cutouts are top dollar and they dont require welding, I think they just slip over your exhaust and clamp on. just check out noweeds and the others are QTP. used to be DMH but they went out of business.

A cammed car with the cutouts open is the best for loud and good. Every show or cruise I go to my car stops people in their tracks when I roll by. People eat it up.

Nope.
