Magnaflow not loud enough!

Magnaflow not loud enough!
I have a 6.0 in my truck and just had a magnaflow put on and not happy with it. I had the muffler shop cut the dual factory pipes before the stock mufffler and then weld on a single magnaflow with 3" dual intlet and 2 1/2" dual outlet. They ran 2 1/2" dual pipes out the back. Don't get me wrong about the muffler it has a great tone and the straight threw design looks efficient to me but its just not loud enough. When the truck is idling you can barely tell between it and the stock exhaust. At wide open you can hardly tell the difference. It sound ok around 2,000 rpm. I called my muffler shop back and he said the more that I drive it the louder it will get. But how much louder? What can I do to get it louder? I have had many Flowmaster's and liked them but I know they aren't quite as good at flow as the Magnaflows. I suggested maybe to put on (2) flowmaster Delta 40 series. I want to hear that I have dual exhaust on my truck even when it's ideling. Maybe I made a bad choice on it. It will have 8 miles on it tomorrow and I'm probably going to have the muffler switched so there maybe be a Magnaflow for sale. " An y suggestions I love the tone just not loud enough?"

I have a Magnaflow side exit catback and it's NOT quiet. It's not obnoxiously loud, but you can definitely tell a non-stock exhaust is on the truck when you're accelerating, even under light throttle.
The side exit catback has 3 inch piping all the way back with a 22" muffler and a 4 inch tip, don't know if that makes a difference?

Gonzo - How does the truck feel now? Low, mid, upper range power? How about your estimates times on your marked off section of road, any better?
What about the Magnaflow dual 3" in / out 28" 5x11 true X muffler? Thats the one I was thinking about getting. Maybe not now. I don't want that interior noise.
