Exhaust is too quiet.. :(

well I got a 16% pulley and alta intake installed last weekend. Thumbs up for Randy for doing a great job.
Anyways, now I cannot hear the exhaust anymore with the alta whine..
I opted for the center pipe with resonator when I got the supersprint steet exhaust.. will removing it somewhat increase the sound level?
How about adding a header?

Header made my system LOUDER - IMHO

I had a Miltek Catback for about a year before adding the Miltek header. In my opinion, the header made the car significantly louder.

How about...

realizing there's already too much noise and just leave it as it is. Be considerate.

I think you'll be surprised at the sound level increase by simply removing the resonator. I'd do that first before replacing the header.

Hmm.. I'm planning to do a short shifter kit soon so getting rid of the center resonator might be a good idea.
