LOL, I think you just got used to the noise so it doesn't seem to sound as cool anymore. A tune-up won't help how the car sounds, unless your car is misfiring and pops like crazy. Your tranny/clutch will also not effect the exhaust note. Seriously, you just got used to the sound.

my exhaust sounds throaty-er in the winter.I think its because the intake noise is louder,but when its warm its a deffinate difference.

Sound travels at different speeds and carries varying distances based on the density/humidity of the air it's travelling through.
