Going back to Stock Mufflers. Too LOUD.
I have straight pipes with after market mufflers. It's WAY TO LOUD and very distracting and Annoying. ALOT of Raspy noise and don't like the way my exhaust tips sit. So i am going to leave my Straight pipes and just put my stock sport mufflers back on.

How do you think it will sound ? ?
