Default magnaflows louder than spiral flows?!!!

i replaced my spiral flows at the rear with magnaflow(magnapacks) part # 10416 to quieten' down my true dual exhaust....he just called me back and said he thinks it sounds better but its louder. WTF guys? i no doubt figured this would get me in the direction.

they are but are a lil quieter. I like the sound i have now, but its almost tooo deep. Would replacing my H-pipe with a good X-pipe help that out any?
