replacing the muffler vs cat back exhaust

[Reidstah]

I got some stainless Xforce mufflers from ebay for $120 second hand, much nicer sound over stock.
Then I fitted a mild steel Xforce center section I found on Gumtree, practically new, never fitted and while the difference wasn't as drastic over the mufflers swap, it does sound a little louder.
These were 2.5"

Before both of the above, I tried straight through tailpipes and they were horrible.

Was it just the rear mufflers you replaced or the centre ones also?

Just the rears, center section was stock until I replaced it with the Xforce mild steel.
