Tune and exhaust note?

[08DarkCandyGT]

I first got a no tune S&B intake. Car ran ok not to much different. Then i got an SCT X3 and used the 93 canned tune. Could not find my intake on the list and picked K&N since they were both no tune. Cars exhaust got much louder on throttle and it had good low end power. Then got a Brenspeed tune. 93 Perf. Car woke up with good throttle response but more power after 3K.
The thing is the exhaust note really mellowed out and the low end power seemed to be gone. What is the reasoning for all this?

Exhaust note will change with fuel ratio, rich is deep lean is crisper sounding

Will the car throw a code if running to lean? How can i tell?

If your car is too lean, it will throw a code, the only way to tell, is by using a wide band A/F meter
