Is your car relativily stock? If so, It might have disrupted your car's natural "flow". Or by doing that you gained power on the low end but lost some on the top.

An intake and a cat-back (header maybe) would prolly fix the problem or atleast some of it. You now have to have alot of force pushing that air through your exhaust. It might not be that loud now, but if you get even a midly loud catback, it will be LOUD w/ the gutted cat. If you don't like the sound, then go for a hi-flow cat. There are some cheap ones like magnaflow that are good. But the best is Random Technology ($$) so I've heard.
