Marginally louder? Probably high-flow cats and a y-pipe.

A lot louder? Headers, test pipes, and y-pipe.

A Cold Air Intake such as the Injen or the JWT Popcharger will make it louder. Test Pipes or HF cats will make it louder as well and yield more performance gains. The combination will probably be just right for you I enjoyed the sound coming from my intake/exhaust setup, but adding the headers took it to a place far beyond what I had hoped for.

Get yourself Injen CAI, makes loud sucking air noise, add the upper intake plenum from Kinetix(V4), makes the engine sound louder, you can actually hear the variable valve timing, especially when you the car is coming towards you, the same type of sound when a S2000 is coming towards you...but in a 6cylinder way(SWEET), then get the Stillen headers with the HF cats along with the complete exhaust from Stillen, people will hear you for sure. Buddy's have told me, on full throttle the car sounds like an IMSA car, smooth, refined and ear piercing loud. You will have to chose the spots when you honk on it, or you will end up like me, some cop on a motorcycle chasing me down, i didnt see him, giving me a ticket for unneccasary noise....f....h....d!! But he did coment on how amazing the car sounded!?!

no y-pipe buddy...
borla is a dual.

high flow cats should do the job, but...the sound might change a bit accordin to some people on this forum.

The Borla itself does not have test pipes. Test pipes replace your cats.

Yeah, I had to remove my Pro-1 because it was so loud that I didn't enjoy driving anymore. I am thinking that I might give it a chance in the future, but only after I dynamat my entire rear end.

If you want loud, just remove your cats! And don't bother putting anything in to replace them.

Open headers dumping straight onto the pavement will be so loud it'll chew your ears like Mike Tyson on PCP.

In my experience if you want good loud get:

Nismo Exhaust/Crawford Headers for a good throaty sound.

You could also add some highflow cats if you'd like, but I prefer the Exhaust/Headers.

Hope this helps.
