Improving sound

I read where someone mentioned trimming horns of the intake, are there any other ways to improve the sound of a 96' 5.0 f150.. And I don't mean like a muffler or anything right now I have my big cat gutted and the small cat right after the y pipe is stock.. No muffler

The airhorns on the intake is only on the 460. The only way to improve the sound of your truck is with the exhaust system.
