New Mufflers - still noisy

I just had new mufflers installed in my 1999 9-3 SE (only 240000 miles). Both the "front" and the "rear" mufflers were replaced (not sure what that means) for about $200 each plus labor.
Here is my concern. My car had failed the annual Staet required Safety inspection because it was deemed "too noisy" - all else, emissions included, tested ok. I disagreed with this assessment because to me and others the car did not sound unusually noisy at all. But there was little I could do and so took the car in to have the muffler replaced. And yet, after about $600, the car sounds almost as "noisy" as before. Are Saabs generally nosiy cars?
Also, my car "vibrates"- that is, doen't run too smooth - although I have just gotten all kinds of oil change etc. done. Again, is that native to Saabs of that vintage or should I get the shop to look more closely? They declared all was well after the check.
Thanks.
