Sounds like you have an exhaust leak then. There is no reason for something to be that loud. My friends BB mustang is just a touch louder than my stroker, so somethings up.

I'd take it to a reputable muffler shop and have them look for leaks. If no leaks, then simply have them put new mufflers on it. Should be fine then.

Didn't know there was such a thing as "too loud"
Does your exhaust dump underneath the car, before the rear axle? If so, you're getting a lot of resonance, and adding pipes from there to run it out the back will make a noticeable sound difference inside the car.
