Making the R louder

Making the R louder
Yes, I know. Many of you think I am crazy for considering this. The R sounds awesome. Why would I want something louder? Because I am crazy.
I am coming from a 2016 Challenger SRT, moving on to the F-type R coupe soon. The SRT sounded fine, but I removed the mid mufflers, and didn't regret it one bit. Woke up the car, with some pops and crackles.
What would be the best move in giving the R a little more growl, with even more pops and bangs? I am not looking for a full exhaust replacement.
Thanks for the advice!

Already have tested it out. Guess I am a 17 year old obnoxious teenager, oh well. Everyone has different tastes in sound. Go tell that to the people buying VelocityAP exhaust systems as well. I would look into those if there were enough video's out there.

I agree with ndabunka, the stock sound evel with the exhaust open is plenty and quite frankly this is a Jaguar and not a Dodge. Further, while it sounds cool and I too am guilty of driving an F-Type, it quickly becomes inconsiderate of others just like cruising down the neighborhood at 5mph with the windows down and blasting rap music. JMHO

Although I do listen to Classic Rock from the 70s, 80s & 90s, the only "urban" music I am likely to listen to would be Marc Antoine's Urban Gypsy

I haven't looked under the car to see if there is room, but electric exhaust cutouts are a great way to have it both ways. I installed cutouts on my SRT8 ten-years ago and have absolutely loved them. You can keep the car quiet 95% of the time, and only open them up when "needed". I opened them often when in parking lots, just to alert people walking through, otherwise oblivious to traffic. They helped alert "left lane sloths" that they need to move right. They were also great when picking up my daughters from downtown, as they could hear me and come to the car.
I may do this to my F-Type as well, but I will only do it if I can fit them without reducing my ground clearance (I was constantly dragging them on driveway crests in my SRT8, but it is lowered).
The F-Type R, and our BMW 650i, both start up LOUD, and you can't switch that off. There should be a setting to prevent this (and save your relationships with your neighbors).

Also, we offer fixed sound level exhausts in 3 different sound levels (Supersport, Sport, Touring), as well as valved (Race/Touring) options.
Have you covered for just about every possible preference

I leave my garage door down, hit start, reverse, park again - then open the door.
(At night or other times my neighbors would be on the warpath).
