Default Why is exhaust quieter?

I had some exhaust leaks with my headers and such and fixed them, but now it real quiet...Upon fixin my leaks I threw some codes (AIR, EGR). Ya'll think I fouled some plugs cause Air got en my exhaust system, and im nnot running on all 8 cylinders?? I know its sounds crazy, but is it a possibility? Ive got long tubes, and Ive heard other peeps exhausts with LTs alot louder than mine and I got a borla....WHATs going on?

hey there.....im pretty sure it could have messed up your 02's if the leaks were more like big holes but the quitness is just because the exhuast isnt exiting right under you but is going through the muffler and exiting behind you. And if you werent running on all 8 cylinders you would know.
