Any idea why it runs so loud? I was thinking initial cold start routes the exhaust via the direct exist in the muffler, then it switches to the alternate quieter path. Now that I've heard how loud it is with the door open I want to be sure it's normal.

Totally normal. It's crazy loud on start up, then quiets down. When we had guests in from out of town and I started it up in the garage, they asked what was wrong with it because it was so loud.
