Got my Budget SS ypipe installed, question

ok guys, got it, and installed it. The only thing is that my car got about twice as loud. why? i have no idea.

I have read couple of threads reguarding how the Ypipe would make things a tad louder but not to this certain extent.
Is it like this only in the beginning or is there even a break in period? or will it be this loud always?
Too loud for my taste, and if it stays like this, i guess i will be getting rid of this exhaust and getting a quieter one.

with a stock cat back adding a y-pipe is really not noticeable. Now, if you have an aftermarket ca back and install a y-pipe it will get much louder

honestly, its not rice loud or anything. It has like some sort of deep rumble, a nice drone to it, sounds mean as hell, but i feel like its a little too loud. its not annoying.
you know how V8's sound? mean as hell right? well....lets just say its a V6 version of mean sound to it haha.

Buy a nice Dynomax perforted core resonator or a Magnaflow resonator.

...and with the stock muffler.

Stay away from straight-through mufflers if you want stock noise levels.
