You didn't specify what TYPE of loudness you wanted, so any of the cheap brands will get you obnoxious loud - Megan, Agency, MagnaFlow, Borla, Remus.

The more 'refined' type of loudness will get you there albeit with more price like - SuperSprint, Akropovic, Miesterschaft, Eisenmann.

To be clear, you might find the 'refined' exhausts not loud enough either. A lot of these don't sound good until you put either an X-pipe or test pipes onto them, then they really open up and are amazing. The obnoxious loud will just be straight loud, no matter what you do. I've tested out 4 of the brands above (2 cheap, 2 expensive) and in various combinations (X-pipe vs. Test pipe) and it really depends on your preference.

Literally DOZENS of threads and videos on the forums to take a look and listen to which you think sounds good. No, it's not 1:1 quality, but they will get you in the ballpark of what tone you prefer.

I just got an Akrapovic Evolution Titanium Exhaust on my E93 a couple of days ago and as you mentioned, it's not that loud but it has a very deep and quality sound, love it. The stock exhaust sounded like a Honda Civic.
