Default Engine sound

I find that with my stock exhaust my engine does not sound load enough.
I just want to bring it up a notch.
What should I do?
Clean out the cats?

I think Flowmasters might be louder than you want. Yesterday at a Corvette show I heard some Corsa RSC's that sounded good, and the owner said they're just a little louder than stock, and they really quiet down around 50 mph. I'll probably be looking into these.
Try to hear some if you can before you buy though.

They look pretty nice also.
