What can I do to make my truck whistle louder?

Everyone loves to hear their turbo whistle. What can I do to make mine louder?

On an '06, if you've already got a turbo-back, about the only thing that's going to give you a lot of whistle (like the '03s), is changing to a different turbo.

Do you still have the cat and muffler installed in the exhaust? (hint, hint)

Actually the muffler was installed backwards. Should I take the Muffler out completely?

Removing the muffler would be worth the effort to hear the difference.
