Default Exhaust changing sound?

Hey guys, I searched and couldn't find anything on this. A couple weeks ago, i installed a MR Drift spec single exhaust. Everything went well and sounded great. A couple days ago I started noticing a difference in the sound and volume. I preferred the original sound, now its sounds a lot less aggressive. Does anybody have and idea what this could be? Could the bolts slightly un-tightened with vibration to change the sound? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

As you get older your hearing changes. That is a fact.

David u are correct. It has been 2 weeks a lot can happen . Exhaust break in? I didn't think that could happen... It's a pipe. My other question is could it be due to low gas? If the fuel light is on does the ecu lower perf? Is that just me or does anyone else notice that?

Might have a squirrel stuck inside. Go under and check if everything is tight.

The metal heats up and cools over and over, maybe alters the tone or you've just adjusted to the new sound unless you compare actual clips.

Wrong, theres a muffler in there with packing (the muffler material ) That will compress overtime and get quieter. Allegedly
