What make is it ?, if it is new it will be a BIT louder until it has sooted up a bit inside.
Is the car running 100%, a rich mix will also cause a louder exhaust!

You would know if it was a scorpion a sthey are stamped with it on the top of the tailpipe, massive insignia can't miss it so not scorpion, could be a one off from somewhere like POWERFLOW DEALERS, there are few cars round here with them, crap if you ask me, but that is just my opinion.
Best bet go along to a club meet, or show so you can hear some to give you an idea of the sound ?

A lot like the MONGOOSE, but there are others like SCORPION , MAGNEX to name a few, can't see there being a lot in it power wise, just porobably different type of noise.
I prefer the scorp myself that's why I have one but so long as good quality just have a listen to some and don't rush into buying one that you have not heard.
Car shows etc are a good place to listen, and speak to owners about them see what they think.
I have been in/on under cars with SCORPION/MAGNEX/MONGOOSE, all these are excellent quality wise, I think Magnex tend to be a bit quieter of the three.
