That means it probably has an exhaust leak somewhere.
Look at the Y pipe, and if there is any part of it that is crushed, or bent to clear something, replace that piece. Also, where the 2 pipes merge, they are usually crushed together to fit the single pipe with no regard to flow. The easiest way to do this is to get some mandrel bent pipe pieces, an cut and replace as needed into the stock Y pipe. You will have flow as good, and sometimes better than aftermarket pieces.
Almost any stock Y pipe needs help and can be made better through that method
