Loud but good would be remove your resonator and replace your mufflers with summit race welded, dynomax ultra welded or magnaflows. If you ever plan on doing a DP, keep your resonator. Hear my sound clips here:

These clips are before and after my DP install.

OK, it is not my thing, but it sounds like you are young and may enjoy the sound, so I have heard a lumina with the 3800 who had kept the resonator but went with small glasspacks (18") instead of mufflers with chrome tips. It was rather loud and abnoxious to me, but a lot of teens liked it.

Open headers and straight pipe sounds good on our cars...

AT IDLE!

You even TOUCH the gas and the coolness factor hits rock bottom and then an extra few thousand miles.

At the track the other day, my exhaust came off at the collection pipe for my pacesetters. Pre-cat. It was;

-Louder than heck
-Scarier than heck
-The most painful brain-bruising drone I have EVER heard in my life.

straight pipes sound great on many older cars i dont know what you are talking about....personaly on our cars i wouldnt do it....if you get a nice exhaust and dp it will sound decently loud and you can get a cutout for when you want it really loud temperarily

Open side pipes on a Cobra? Yes, please!

Our cars? Go jump off a cliff. I made the mistake of taking a test drive of my car with just a glasspack on it down the road (first drive after swap). Not only did it sound horrible, I thought my head would explode.
