Headers and Catback too quiet

Just put in Hooker lt's, y pipe, and magnaflow catback. It sounds like a stock LS1. Witnessed two other TA's with similiar setups and they are much louder and sound nicer. Any Advice.
My TA has P&p throttle body and maf, K&N fipk,
Other TA has Lid, Hypertech powerprogrammer. (Jet hot, magnaflow)
other TA has Lid, hooker exhaust all the way back.

Magnaflow is pretty damn quiet even from the outside...... Trust me, I'm considering switching mine out with something else.

I have hooker all the way back, it's def a quite setup relatively. BUT it does sound sexy, just not loud, but when you stand on it u'll notice rediculous change in volume lol. I do agree it's quiet, so I'm going w/ elec. cutout!!! that'll fix it for sure.

Yeah drive it some more and let it burn in, also those other T/A's might not have had cats or they were gutted.
