Post F150 Super40 installed. I need it louder! Need help!

I own a 2005 Ford F150 5.4L 4X4 King Ranch. I just installed a flowmaster super 40 to replace the stock muffler. I kept the stock piping (with the added extra obviously). I was wondering if there were other ways to make more of a deeper rumble. It really only makes a nice sound at 1000-2000 RPMs. I was looking at a catback kit or maybe dumping the tailpipe. I was wondering if its really worth it. It has more sound than the stock but I would love to have more of a presence!! Please post any links of things I should get! Only legal ways please.

Loud is overrated. Just ask your neighbors. I have a magnaflow (thanks to the PO) and it is mild compared to a Flowmaster 40, and am tempted on a daily basis to go back to stock.

Run the pipes to the front of the cabin - I guarantee this will make it sound louder.

Are you suggesting that i cut the tailpipe right after the muffler? Sorry, I am not very good with vehicles. New to this stuff haha. Maybe not louder but perhaps more resonate and deeper at more RPMs. I can barely hear it.

I would just remove all the piping and mufflers at the headers on back.
This way it will dump out right at your feet and give you some serious sound.

Twin Thrush Turbo mufflers w/ dual 2.5" side exit rolled tips. Exits right at the bumper. Nice deep bumble and sounds nasty when you get on it. Minimal drone and doesn't scare the neighbors

put a 3.5+" x 12" tip on it. 2.5" stock pipe isn't big enough to give any sort of depth to the sound. I have a thread about this on my truck, "just the tip". go.
