Exhaust question

Hey guys, I just finished up my dual exhaust install on the Chevy. The install went real good, only a slight leak off the pass side manifold (neither manifold has a gasket), but it is much quieter than I was expecting it to be. From the outside, it sounds ok, and when you stomp on it, it sounds alright, but at an idle, and when cruising it is nearly silent. How much louder will a set of resonator tips make it? I just wanna be able to hear it, don't need it to rock the neighbourhood I'l post some pictures when I get home tonight, along with a revving sound clip (sounds real good when you rev it up in neutral, just too quiet when driving, my brother's Buick LeSabre has more of an exhaust note when driving )

Chrome tips take too much polishing for me to look nice......if you go with stainless tips you never have to touch them.
