Default I think I broke my LM exhaust?????

I havent been driving my car for the past week or so due to being sick, I decided I better no neglect it anymore so I drove it today nothing to extreme just a normal drive and I notice that my exhaust is unusally quiet. First I think its just me or that I might still be a little out of it but as I drive it around I decide to get on it a few times and open it up and its responsive like normal but its still really quiet for having the Loudmouth system. It sounds like someone put a muffler on my car lol anyone have any idea what could be causing it or how to fix it

not sure, probably just in your head, but in any case if its broken id be more than happy to sell you mine. Cam and full exaust with a LM = super super obnoxious.

Maybe your ears are clogged from being sick.

your ears are messed up from being sick or someone may have stuffed potatos in your exhaust.

Only thing I can think of that wasn't suggested is that your cats could be going and you could have a chunk of one stuck in your exhaust somewhere.

I noticed mine doing this last week so while my friend had my car on the lift to paint my calipers he noticed that my muffler (resonator) was cracked. It was quiet at idle but other than that still loud. I had been wanting to switch to a borla x-r1 for a while so I finally got one today

This may sound kinda stupid but here it goes anyway. When I first got my exhaust on, Kooks TSP true duals and sweet thunders, it was awesome loud. But like you after a while it die down, and alot. Its not just in your head because Ive even asked people, wasn't my car louder when I first put the headers+TD's on? They all said yes it was. Now when your pipes are brand new the inside is like a slick finish, but after a while you look in the pipes and there coated black. Wouldn't the inside being clean effect the amount of exhaust sound, and how fast it gets out. Is anyone following me here.

Brand new, inside slick, exhaust=loud
Much used, inside coated black, exhaust=not so loud
I really hope this makes sense to everyone.
