LMAO....saw this coming. Just like I said on your thread when you bragged about how you removed the stock resonator for straight pipes - you ruined the scaveging effect of your exhaust. Put the stock resonator back on or put on an x-pipe if you threw the resonator away. Putting stock or some other mufflers back on won't solve your problem because you screwed up by removing the resonator (a muffler w/ an internal x-pipe) and those straight pipes are too long of a run w/ some sort of flow change. I lived and learned w/ my 740iL, so either you can keep doing the exact opposite of what I tell you, or you can live vicariously through my wallet from the mistakes I made.
