Default 6th gen V6 accord - ways to make exhaust louder

I am planning on taking out the resonators and straight-piping the exhaust on my v6 Accord soon... Any other cheaper/easier ideas to make it sound different? I DO NOT want a real ricey sound, but more of an aggressive gargling sound, as in more of an american muscle-esque sound, like in corvettes and cobras. Any advice will help, thanks

Hmmm, I don’t believe I’ve ever heard a V6 engine of any stripe, regardless of what the exhaust configuration was, that had the wonderful rhythmic gurgle of a dual exhaust Detroit V8. Keep us posted on how you make out.

CL Type S mufflers. Lots of people on V6performance.net have done this and loved it, also the type S mufflers have a nice oval chrome tip on them. look it up.

Wow, thanks! I checked it out on youtube and there are a few videos and they sound really nice. I will definitely consider buying those off of somebody.
