Default My Exhaust Got Quieter.. WTF??

Hey all I've had ARH 1 3/4" headers ORY cutout and Magnaflow exhaust installed for about a year. About a week ago I capped the cutout for quiet startups in the morning for the neighbors. Well now its the weekend and I opened it back up, and its somehow noticeably quieter than a week ago when it was open. One o2 sensor is a year old and the other is 3 months old. What the hell is going on??? The temperature here is about 30 degrees if that has anything to do with it.. Thanks

yeah, you'd be surprised how that little flap makes a difference in how your exhaust sounds inside the car.
