I would agree with you if we were all driving old school carbed engines with distributors and used screwdrivers, dwell meters and timing lights to tune them.

With the engines we run with direct injection and ECU engine management - the crackle and pop is there intentionally from the factory in the tune. Its called Decel Fuel Cut Off (DFCO). It can be turned off in the tune and many owners and/or tuner shops turn off DFCO to make the pop stop. I happen to like the sounds so I'm good with it.

To answer the OP's question - in the tune I don't think you can enhance it as DFCO is either on or off in the tune tables I've seen. Maybe some combination of exhaust changes can make you hear it better. I personally won't waste money on exhaust changes - NPP works great. If you go messing with the exhaust to make it louder you risk creating drone at cruising speeds. I hate drone.

Oh - and I too vote no on "Maro".
