Exhaust tone change
Hey everyone, I just started having an issue with my ls1 z28 a few days ago. I have had the same exhaust setup on my car for about 4 years now, its a flowmaster american thunder cat back exhaust with the 80 series crossflow muffler. The other day I started it up and the exhaust tone now soundsvery different than it has before. Noticeably higher pitched as opposed to the normal deep rumble. If i didnt know any better Id say someone switched my flowmaster out with a magnaflow in the middle of the night.
What could be the possible cause of the change in pitch of the exhaust? If any one can give me any clues I would appreciate it!

Thank you for the advice, I got under the car today to check and sure enough theres a hole about the size of a nickel in the downpipe I believe (not really sure, kinda a newbie to car terminology). Looks like Id better start looking for a replacement.

Is it possible to seal up the hole somehow, or will I have to get a new pipe?
Also what muffler would you recommend? The 80 series was on the car when i bought it, but I personally think it sounds way too mellow for my tastes.

Ill definitely have to do some shopping around. Sadly, cause of the economy im on a budget but I really want something eventually that's affordable yet better than the flowmaster setup. I used to think highly of the flowmaster setup but after doing some research on it I guess its not nearly as good as the competition.
