exhaust question

Hello everyone, I can't tell if this is purely psychological or not but my 4.8 seems to not sound as good as it did just week or two ago. It doesn't seem to have the rumble anymore and when I gunned it through a tunnel it sounded really weak. Is this just me or is it the weather (75 degrees) or is the car (22,000 miles, '06 4.8is)?

mrkbbd,

this does not directly answer your question but after doing the xpipe mod along with a AFE CAE and SuperSprint Exhaust............the longer that I have had the set up the better sounding it has gotten.....now that may be a bit psychological on my part, but I was told that exhaust does break in......now that it is a bit cooler here in the Northeast it is even getting a bit more throaty.....with that said I don't feel that you should be losing exhaust rumble or "NOTE"............i'm sure others will start to weigh in here just give it time....SUGGETSION - definitely do not call the "STEALER" /Dealer for this question......call a local INDIE SHOP that specializes in Exhaust......not like Midas but more Indie than that.....and simply just explain what X that you have and Engine that you have and i'm sure they could tell you what it may be?!?!???

I hope this helps....

RR

I think it's psychological...your ears have just grown used to the sound of your exhaust...do the X-Pipe and maybe an exhaust like an Eisenmann and I guarentee you won't feel the same way anymore.
