Add a cats to the car (high flow can be picked up for around 300 for a set)

I'm not surprised. The same thing happened to me when I did heads/cam. I pieced together an SLP dual/dual and it sounds much better now. They are getting pretty hard to find now though.

+1, it will also probably eliminate any rasp you have.

you can always add a resonator which will quite down your car not a whole, but just enough to the point that its not unbearable.
