Now, the only time it sounds that good is during cold starts but once the car is warmed up, it gets REALLY quiet. There's basically no sound while cruising when it was loud enough to give me a headache the first day even during cruising.

I understand the exhaust is breaking in and the ECU has adjusted itself to the TRD exhaust and intake combo, but is there a way to get that loudness back or is it gone for good?
I did notice this, but I assumed I had just become accustomed to the volume (I had also installed the TRD intake the week before, which makes it really quiet deleting the sound generator tube). My exhaust only sounds loud now on cold starts where it drones for the 30 seconds or so of high idle.
