Default Stock exhaust

How do I make my stock mufflers louder?I'll be changing out my mufflers this winter and am willing to try modifications , such as drilling. These pipes are too quiet.

Don't do it. Hang on to them in case your local Police dept. gets the itch to write tickets for excessive noise. Wait until you hear an exhaust you like and buy one like it. I've heard some drilled-out mufflers and the sound is very disappointing......you won't like it and you've messed-up a perfectly legal pair that you may have to replace.
