Maybe I'm just deaf... or just used to a much more aggressive exhaust note.

I have put about 2000 mi and no different in my case, not louder or quieter.

I have suspicion that maybe my exhaust is rubbing somewhere.

But wait, you have hatch? Did you have OEM exhaust before? And not SPT? I did and in my case noise difference is very significant. At all speeds. I can surely hear it at 70.

Wait you have WRX? Isn't STi louder overall inside than WRX?

Here is excerpt from Owner Reference Guide SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STi.
