Yeah, that's how my accord was when I put an aftermarket cat back exhaust on it, when I had the removable "silencer" (baffle) it still had a nice low tone to it, but when at WOT it would seem almost like there was no noise coming from the exhaust. Must be the back pressure from the baffle really affects the air flow at WOT and the sound waves get caught and cancel each other out before exiting the exhaust?

Correct me if I'm wrong, really just a theory, but if you had a 4-4 exhaust it would stay loud because there is only one cylinder firing per pipe so there aren't any contradicting sound waves to cancel out the noise, right?
