Default Magnaflow is quiet. How to make louder?

I had a customer magnaflow catback installed last weekend. It sounds good. My problem is that it's too quiet. I don't know if there's anything I can do about it. I did have the stock tip welded onto the new piping to save some money for the time being. The whole system is 2.25" and the resonator and second cat was removed.

If I increase the size of the exit piping or change to a larger tip or both, will that increase the volume? The volume is audible inside the car, until I hit 3k and it starts to be almost not noticable.

Also, will an intake increase the volume of the exhaust?

These may be stupid questions, but I can't find information specific to them already explained.

yes the intake does make it abit louder and get headers as well, but forsure get a resonator so it can take away some of the rasp. also if you still have your stock s-pipe then change that too. good luck on not getting pulled over

That video made me laugh. I wasn't sure if some of those people were serious or not, but I guess so.
