The sound improvement sounds good!@FIVE-OH
H pipe went on today and the air raid CAI. At idle car doesn't sound much louder. At WOT it is significantly louder. Still not ridic loud but it satisfies me anyway.
I'm not sure if I have an exhaust leak or not. I hear a ts ts ts sound when I'm getting into the throttle. That sound is barely noticeable when I rev in neutral. Only when in D and on the throttle is it apparent.
I felt around under the car and was unable to feel any leaks so not sure if that is just how it is or if there is an issue.
Yah it may be fine. It's hard to know what to expect. Never had an offroad exhaust before. Plus the new cai also changes the sound a bit. It sounded fine on an overpass with concrete on both sides of the car. I'll double check it again after a couple drive cycles just to be safe. Have a buddy of mine get under there and check for me.
On my second test drive I got rear ended by a young girl who was on her cell phone. Looks like I'll be in it for a new bumper minimum. Exhaust seems OK and I doubt there is frame damage though its hard to say without pulling it off of there first. Already filed a claim. She admitted everything.
:/
It won't sound so hot with stock mufflers. Get some GT500's!
Riptide said:I'm going to ask a buddy of mine to check the exhaust with me tomorrow and see if there are any leaks. He's a mechanic by trade and I trust his ears/opinion 100%. I'm pretty sure the airy ts ts ts noise I hear is just how it is. But I want to be sure about it. Seems so strange you don't hear it when reving in neutral. But the engine moves a lot more air when in D and under load.

It's kind of a hissing noise and it's most apparent at moderate to heavy throttle.
Had the car on stands again this morning started it cold. My mechanic friend felt around all the flanges and the clamps again. Says there isn't any leaks.
Must be the intake I guess. I'll double check my work on that and also check for soot deposits on the exhaust after I drive it for another hundred miles. But odds are there isn't anything wrong with it.
Ugh, not sure I am liking that at all...maybe I will pass on using this off road H pipe then. I really want the extra power and volume, and can deal with a little more smell. But I am not sure I can deal with any added odd noises as I really like the tone of my exhaust as of now.I'm also surprised to have not heard about it more often. It is pretty obvious to me. I have sharp hearing though and am picky so I dunno. Maybe some people just can't hear it.

How bad/noticeable is the hissing sound? Does it bother you?I had the same question when I installed my O/R-x, thought I had an exhaust leak with the hissing thing. but everything was sealed up nice it's just normal.
