how long have you had your high flow? high flows get really hot and dont last as long as a regular cat. so im thinking if you had your high flow for a while now. it is probably that.

Have you recently installed an aftermarket ecu or retuned your aftermarket ecu? Changes in timing and A/F ratio will effect the tone/sound level of the exhaust.
