Do you want it to sound like a V-8? That might be a little difficult. There's a thread in the inline-six forums that contains a YouTube video with a mean-sounding straight-six, so you might want to look there. I haven't seen it because videos don't get along with my dial-up. Other than that, the only suggestion I can give is to call the manufacturers and see what the tech guys recommend.

There's nothing you can do to make it sound like a V8, but if you want loud you'll have to remove the complete factory system(especially the cats) and install aftermarket plumbing.

I like my force 2 system...It's not too loud though...I would recommend cutting off the second cat so it goes about three in. all the way back...it sounds pretty good at low to mid rpm's very deep...not a V8 sound though...
