Rear window shattered randomly on freeway

So I'm driving going 65 and I step on the gas just a bit to around 3,500 rpm just to hear the exhaust a little bit and I hear a boom! I look and my window is shattered! There was no one behind me and maybe one car with some old people two lanes to my left. I have long tubes and muffler deletes. Is it possible my exhaust tone caused this? It completely ruined my day. I have to pay insurance to get this replaced and retint my window and everything.

how the hell maybe it was your exhaust note but my bet is. Factory defect it should not have done that even with a super loud exhaust
