Headlight and exhaust question?

I reciently got rear ended and got magnaflow mufflers put on instead of the factories put back on. I do like the sound but honestly it doesnt not sound different. if you listen very closly you can hear its A LITTLE louder and throaty. I was wondering what can be done to add a little more noise.

Also when I got the car back I noticed that one head light was the normal clear white and the other one has a purple/pink tint to it. Would anyone know why or how. I asked the body shop and they told me they did NOTHING to the either head lights.

Let me know your imput guys. As always thanks for the help!

If you don't mind me asking...what car did you have before this one? What exhaust notes are you "used to?" I'm asking because a few people have said that just the mufflers are too noisy for them.

I had a jeep grand Cherokee. Honestly, there is no difference in the sound. Put it this way. I picked up my gf and she had NO idea i put the mufflers on, and thats with no music. I have 19" Forged G35 coupe rims

Just stop by a muffler shop and have them throw on an aftermarket resonator. Even a cherry bomb or a glass pak will do just fine. Most aftermarket res.'s are straight throughs anyway.

the stock resonator is huge! change to an aftermarket and you'll see an increase in sound.
