Default 96 f-150 headers/exhuast question

First off hello to everyone I'm a noob around these parts lol

OK so I've got a 96 f-150 and I'm trying to make my exhaust louder. Right now I've got an original 40 series Flowmaster on there but much to my luck I live in the "great" state of California where its illegal to run your exhaust without cats so my question is what can I do to make it louder? Keep in mind this model has 2 cats (which I hate). Most people have been telling me that some headers should do the trick, others say a smaller single chamber muffler will do. Any suggestions? Also which is better for sound, long or short tube headers?

Headers wont make the truck much louder, if you want louder, move muffler closer to the engine, or put glass packs on.

I would just move out of that communist state and what you want to your truck. I have BBK shortys, Bassani off road "Y" pipe into a single 3" Dynomax ultra flo. Its plenty loud and has a unique tone.
