Sounds like you've got the dreaded drone.
What year model and engine do you have?
Did you replace the entire factory exhaust from the y pipe back?

Yeah , that's your MDS kicking in that is causing that pulsing "helicopter flying under water" drone.
Very common but still annoying. The 08 oem exhaust had 1 resonator on the tail pipe to suppress the drone your hearing.
I assume you had a shop install the new exhaust and it's a single in duel out system.
The only way to eliminate the drone is to disable MDS with a tuner or drive around town w/your O/D off. or install a couple of resonators after the muffler.
