Looks pretty similar to how Dynomax did their catback. Is it a single 3" to dual 3"?

I wouldn't worry about it too much.

You still have stock manifolds and cats? If so, that's why it's not that loud.

Manifolds, crushed y, poorly routed cat back. With headers,real ory, and a nice cat back you could probably pick up 50hp lol
