Default Weakkk exhaust

On my R/T, i have a generally stock exhaust except for my flowmaster 40 series muffler in the rear going to dual split rears in the back with 2 nd a half inch piping. And it sounds great until 1900RPM nd then it gets extremely quiet, i cant stand the quietness. If i wanted to make my truck loud and progressivly louder as my RPM's increased till redline, how would i go about doing this? An example ( though i hate using this example ) would be the little 4bangers with they're exhausts, as the RPM's increase, the louder it gets, i want my truck to do the same, and yet sound closer to a dragster, how would i go about this? Thanks for any help guys.

put a turndown right after your mufler. it will make the exhaust bounce off the street and sound louder

have to be careful not to kill the velocity of the flow... 3" I think is too big... 2.5" would be better... it may still kill some part throttle low end torque which hurt mileage some.
