Exhaust riddle

[kellogs666]

Greetings pals!
I bought an 172 Clio a few months ago, which has a custom full 2.5" exhaust and an 182 manifold. The thing is that it's way too noisy for my 43yo ears. I changed the muffler with an Asso one, which is semi- free I guess and has a nice gentle bass sound. But... the low and low-mid range died!
So I wonder if there is a solution to my issue or I'm just condemed.

Thank you in advance!

Ah right. So a pattern part back box.

Maybe it’s a bit more restrictive so not performing as well as a freer flowing system.
