why is my car so silent

How's your cat? You should notice a sound difference, but a better flowing cat, especially if your still on the original cat, will enhance the sound too.

1) You are not making any power

2) You still have stock pipes

3) You have a cat, those hole back sound doing their job.

Well, a high flow cat and a larger cat back system will help.

I guess you could say it is "louder"...I guess it is, just never really thoughgt of that aspect. I'd think of it as a "truer" sound, allowing the engine to breathe better, & the muffler, of your choice, soud more like it should/could/supposed to.
