Default ARK Exhaust- how to make it louder?

Personally, I dont think the ARK exhaust is as loud as people say it is. Just wondering whats the best way to make it louder with a deeper growl?

Are there any other systems or setup that would be a better choice than modding the ARK itself?

Headers should do the trick along with the full catback Ark exhaust

I'd love to get headers but it seems like the PPE headers make the car sound raspy

You can remove the resonators on an aftermarket cat back and basically do a straight pipe

Yes it makes it raspier. Sounds good with the Ark exhaust though.

Not sure of that exhaust combo. Pretty sure there is. Think there’s a guy in the Middle East running that combo, his car shoots flames too lol!

I recently installed PPE headers with The ARK exhaust. It's loud af! There is some rasp, but it sounds wonderful at WOT. My only issue is my RC is a daily driver, and it's too loud now in my opinion. I've already had one neighbor comment about the noise level at startup (I guess I'm waking them now every morning).
