I need to check that.
Interesting feedback, looking to hear more from you on this and what you think.
So in my M1 mode (D2 transmission setting) it has a TON more pops and bangs which i don't know if im a huge fan of. That's the biggest change with this mod so far.

And I hesitate to say this but I feel like I'm getting tones of someone putting an exhaust on a V6 Charger or Mustang. It just doesn't sound right to me. Again hard because I can't hear it from the outside of the car while driving.

Windows up and normal driving it's still very muted under normal driving. No drone or anything on the hwy. but….

I think I'll be keeping my order for the X pipe just to see if that helps. Honestly the issue may because I removed the balance can between the mufflers? Idk. I did that based on a recommendation from another member on here. I should have done it in stages so I know what is causing what sound etc. plus it cost almost another 40% to do that as they had to custom bend and weld pipe to make caps for the holes in the muffler now as he didn't just have metal plates to weld in.
