Remove the rear muffler and replace with a 2 1/2" straight through pipe.

If you by a pre bent one like a red back one it will cost you about $110 fitted, go to a machincs who bend up exhausts/exhaust shop and get them to do it for $50 give or take a few bucks fitted.

I like walky's idea. That will give plenty of noise :P

Seriously: removing only rear resi will do 2/10ths of f#$% all. Get a cat back system if your serious about a decent note. $250 without a tip is what you could aim for, but Generally $300 is the norm.
