Default exhaust sounds different

i just installed a dc sports 4-1 header yesterday, and i knew it would be louder, but people said it would also get deeper. i have an apexi n1 catback (w/ resonator) and it seems like its more high pitched now. maybe its just cause im not used to it being this loud. before, it was a nice deep growl, not too loud until i really hit it. now, its loud no matter what. and it has a BUZZING sound to it. i really hate that. is there anything i can do to get it back to that deep growl other than putting my stock header back on?

the header you put on is less restrictive than the stock header by far yes it'll be louder but the buzzing check your gaskets and the rest of the exhaust system for leaks.
