sc's arent like gonna get quieter over time dude. esp if your running a smaller pulley if anything it should be louder. but the exhaust noises drown out sc whine quite a bit. it used to seem louder because, well, it was louder than the stock exhaust.

if all else fails you can plug the silencer holes (not recommended unless ur good with quicksteel and wanna take ur s.c apart) but will make it louder in terms of 7 psi sounds like 12 psi

You are just used to it....

Go film a video of your car. You will be surprised how loud your car really is when you hear it from a different perspective.

You always had a nice sounding exhaust.

Did you change anything once you installed the TVS?
