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.

Your entire exhaust could use a do-over.

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