I thought about the "enjoying the new sound syndrome",
but on the last three tanks have behaved myself. On
the freeway, it is difficult to stay at 60 as there is
barely any pressure required on the pedal to cruise
that speed. Seems low end hasn't been hurt at all, it
seems to have improved slightly. That's why I went
2 1/4" out.
As for the sounds, it is nice and deep at idle. Sounds
throaty thru the lower rpms (up to 3k). After the
motor winds up some past 3k I really can't hear the
exhaust. At steady speed, any steady speed, you can't
hear it in the cab at all and no annoying resonating.
