Budget ways to make turbo spool louder 550i?

Looking for a budget way to make the turbo spool louder. Currently have a resonator delete and an axle back and it sounds pretty nice but I want the turbos louder. I know DPs are the way to go but it’s out of my budget right now. Would a secondary cat delete be ideal maybe?

For now, sound. Not too worried about performance with it now.

open dumps off the wastegate...these are internally gated so good luck with that. air intake will make the turbos a bit louder.
