Default FI exhaust: sound change

My FI exhaust has become louder and more exotic sounding. "What changed?" you might ask.

Back story:

The Z is my weekend car so it's parked in front of the house. We recently had a lot of rain...I think on Thursday. So much rain that we had a flash flood in my neighborhood; something that usually don't happen around here. It happened so fast that I didn't have time to move it to higher ground.

I checked the Z out yesterday. The first thing I checked was the carpet. Whew, I didn't find any moisture on the floor pan, the carpet was dry. I started the Z up and the exhaust had a burble sound beyond what it usually sounds like on start up. I looked at the exhaust tips and you can tell water had gotten into them but other than that everything on the exhaust looked normal. So, I drove it a little during the weekend thinking whatever moisture was in the exhaust would dry up.

Anyway, the exhaust most definitely is a little louder and exotic sounding. The sound is right on the edge of when I had no resonators (headache-ville) but bearable and sweet sounding; it's turning more heads

Yikes thats painful to see

But the exhaust should tone down once all that water trapped in the canister has gone.

Im pretty sure some good high revs will get most of it out but some will remain for a bit.
