Corksport DP + catless exhaust is too loud?

My MS6 is finally road worthy and I borderline hate the exhaust it has. It's a Corksport catless, resonatorless turbo back setup and it sounds good, but damn it's ridiculously loud and bassy. Is that normal? I've considered adding a resonator, but don't know if it would help.
 
Here's the system I have. Yes it's loud. I try to just up shift and keep rpm down while situation requires "quieter" noise levels. If you run Corksport lowering springs you will find it's hard to add anymore silencer mods. The ground to pipe is just enough for most situations for ground clearance. I literally had to grind my driveway down a inch at curb interface to keep from scraping. Mostly ok though in normal driving obstacles.Screenshot_20241129-194441.png Screenshot_20241129-194902.png

Thanks! After finally getting to go on a longer drive I realized what I was hearing was chassis resonance. When I replaced the motor mounts a few months ago I looked at the torque strut mount and thought it looked good so I didn't replace it. Turns out it was a JBR mount and it was transmitting all the nvh. An oe style mount fixed it. The exhaust is still loud but good. Mine is lowered on H&R coilovers. Not too low, but I still have to clench up now and then.
