Default Car is getting a lot LOUDER...why?

Not that I'm complaining, because as far as I'm concerned, my car will never be too loud, but within the last two weeks my car has gotten noticably louder. Not really gradually either. Its like, all of the sudden, it got louder. I havn't done anything to change it. Its not louder toward the front, only out the pipes, so I'm guessing no leaks. Any ideas? Like I said, I'm not complaining. It sounds bad ***, I'm just trying to figure out why it got louder.

Maybe the exhaust slipped apart underneath the car where the y-pipe slips into the "cat-back" portion of the exhaust?

Its true duals all the way back with no x or h pipe. All of it is welded with the exception of the flange behind the cats.

I guess its a possibility. I've only had the high flow cats for a few months though. But I did remove the AIR system.
