Default Stock Exhaust getting louder?

So I noticed after a nice long drive to Arizona that my stock exhaust sounds a lot louder now, I'm at about 27k miles. Is it just breaking in all the way now? It actually sounds like I have a aftermarket exhaust, not crazy loud or anything, just nice tone. Anyone else noticing this on the stock exhaust?

Mine is pretty loud in the cabin over 2-3k RPM's. I really like it. I dont remember it being that loud at first but I also added a SRI which helped the sound.

I always liked the stock sound, the avg. joe can't believe it is a stock exhaust. Of course the descendants' sound gives me a warm fuzzy feeling in my nether regions. I still think the new catted header will hands down be the best exhaust upgrade for n/a Tc2's. And if someone makes a decent s/c, aww yeah! The header should give a bit more sound and some actual power increase. Good headers always seem to increase throttle response nicely.
On topic, I think mine may have picked up a little more sound, hard to tell when you have intake mods.
