Default well that was dumb

.. i brought my car to the dealership last week to get them to check out a few things .. and when i went to go get it back he said he couldnt hear anything i was talking about as the exhuast was too loud.

so in prep for bringing it back in i pulled the straight pipes and put the stock exhaust back on and even mated up to a set of headers and offroad x-pipe, although deep in tone .. lacks somethings profusely.

... thinking i might go to B&B Bullets .. not sure though ... something inbetween what i had, and what i have.

If you liked what were on there, why not just take them off long enough to get whatever problem your car had fixed and then put them back on. That is, unless you just don't want to have to do the change over every now and then.

the car only bothers me for the first 2 minutes after startup .. when it's obnoxiously loud .. once the car warms up a bit the rpms drop and everything is fine .. but on first start it's incredibly loud and starts up with a loud vrrOOOM

also i get overly nervous when a police officer is right behind me

and the other day got me to thinking maybe it is too loud if you cant even hear a wheel bearing going bad because of the exhaust.

As long as we have all these harley riders here in FL I don't think you'll have to worry about the cops
