Default Best parts for more sound

I have a 2004 monte supercharged ss with a k&n cold air intake and a 3 inch zzp downpipe with cat and I am looking to get more sound out of my car, my friend has a mustang gt and consistently mocks the sound of my car, I know I can't get it to sound exactly like the v8 but what exhaust/mufflers should I get to get the best sound out of my monte?

Currently looking at an slp cat back exhaust or a dynomax cat back but open to any suggestions at this point

If you want to really shut him up do what I did. XP Cam, ZZP Headers, and 3 Inch straight pipe all the way back. Or a exhaust cutout after the CAT.

Tell your friend to shut up lol because your doing something custom to your vehicle to make it YOURS. Everyone and their mother has a V8 mustang. Yes most V8's do sound nice but emphasize your V6 sound don't try to sound like an 8 cylinder gas guzzler. I own a non s/c 2004ss with the K&N full intake kit that you mentioned and also the Dynomax catback exhaust system you're considering. That system, if its the same one, is a mild throaty sound. Not gonna be mistaken for V8. I love the sound because it's distinctive. Everyone's tastes are different so just get whatever system you think will give you the sound YOU like and don't worry about your friends. Good luck.
