Default New Exhaust noise level.

Quick question guys,
Fitted a New system on the car (cat back) and its dead silent and i mean dead silent, with some use do they tend to get louder?
Ive never had this before normally i go for the loud stuff straight away ha ha.
but this time with track time in mind i went for a silenced system to get through noise testing, but this is taking pee a little the power steering pump is louder than the exhaust note

What system is it? If its got a big silencer in the long centre section as well as a big backbox muffler you could replace either of those rather than the whole thing?

Or decat will add a little bit of volume

Technically, I believe it will get slightly louder once some carbon deposits through the system, but you're not going to notice it, so if it's dead quiet now, that's what you're going to be left with.
