I recently did the opposite. Ten years ago, I installed a stainless lifetime
guarantee exhause. It always was loud, but suddenly it became worse. Upon
inspection, I found a faulty weld where the pipe was joined to the muffler.
I could tell that the weld had been broken for years and had only recently
opened up more. Anyway I exchanged it for a new one and find I can now carry
on a conversation with my passenger. So if you want a little noise, just
drill a few holes in the pipe.
