Default Exhaust goes silent at 2k RPM; What's up with that?

ive got a stainless steel tsudo cat back and a gutted out catalytic convertor. when i hit 2k rpm in any gear i cant hear the exhaust note at all; its quieter than my stock exhaust actually. this isnt a problem, i would just like to know why.

Just the characteristics of the piping and how the exhaust gas flows. The quieter the better IMO

sounds like at 2K the frequency of the exhaust gasses along with the pipe length is cancelling all noise...welcome to the fun world of physics and tuned exhausts!!
