I'd bet that you are seeing the outer shell of the muffler. DO NOT drill through that.

I'll be borrowing one of my Dad's long drill bits early next week.

BTW, I would guess that you are only hearing the difference in sound at low RPM because at higher RPM, the volume and velocity of the air keeps it moving through the big holes in the existing pipes as opposed to the tiny drilled holes. At slower speed, there is less air moving, and it can get through the smaller holes.

I'll put a DB meter on it before and after to see what difference in sound level it makes.
