The mod to increase the sound of the OEM muffler is the 'Crios mod', and you will find it with a search. I did it a year ago and was happy with the difference, which I think was more at idle than higher RPM (maybe because the de-snorkled intake sound was louder than the exhaust at high RPM).
I still wanted a little more sound with no drone, and I prefer the twin tailpipe look vs. the OEM muffler on my 2002 2.7, so this spring I changed the OEM muffler for a FVD/Brombacher 'Sound version' muffler. It has a little more rumble than the Crios mod at idle, and more sound as the RPM increases, especially over 4kRPM. It is not much louder than OEM when cruising on the highway. Like the Dansk unit, it has the stamped look of the OEM muffler, which supposedly helps with drone. They claim a hp increase, but that is not why I bought it. I certainly did not detect any reduction in power, there is no drone, and it sounds and looks great.
I have been following this forum for a couple of years now, and it seems that opinions on mufflers/exhaust systems vary quite a bit.
Check out all the options, and good luck!
