What muffler are you running... Are you running the cat? If not yes it will be a little louder but shouldn't be that bad.. If it's the alpha muffler it's burnt out. Probably time to change muffler would be my guess.
factory muffler or alpha?
1320 is a very loud exhaust. You may want to look at the Welter. My wife and I both love ours. We will use the baffle for long highway rides only.

1320
@Nick Alleshouse my appoligies I missed that somewhere... Like @dangerdarrell said 1320 is a very loud exhaust...
@rabtech has the ultimate exhaust,,,almost.
His exhaust is quieter than factory until he reaches a certain amount of boost, then it opens up to another exit and frees up the flow and thus gets a lot louder.
If @Jeff Welter could come up with a design that exited out the back and be quiet like rabs then when a certain rpm/boost/vacum is reached it would open up to a short dump pipe either in the factory location or out the side like rabs that would be the ultimate exhaust. I understand that this setup would have to include a tune so that when the exhaust opens up the AFR would stay within limits but I believe it is possible.
Most of us don't cruise above 3krpms in 5th gear as that is about 90mph. If I'm gettin after it I'll be in a gear that puts me in the sweet spot of the power which is above that and I'm sure that is true for most everyone.
Too many variables I suppose but we can always dream!
