Performance Exhaust Cold Start

Got this done 2 weeks ago and loving it so far. In the morning when i start the car, it is very loud. The loud music lasts less than a minute and it quietens down significantly and abruptly after that. Is this normal behavior?

I would be thankful! Although sounds good in the garage, it sounds like a freakin tractor! You should start it and get out and than go listen! It actually sounds terrible when driving off in terms of the tone etc. I love it to when starting up but the first few seconds of driving with it have the tractor tone which I do not appreciate

The car does the same thing with any exhaust (including stock), but the cold start sound is obviously amplified with a louder exhaust.
