Default Not diggin my new NTX

Got a great deal from forum member on NTX cat back, not crazy about sound I think my stock exhaust had a meaner WOT and don't like the little vibrations here and there. Maybe I am getting old! It's only been a day so maybe I'll get used to it.

Man I think you're crazy. My NXT sounds great and I have no vibrations at all. Something wrong with your install? My NXT's are way louder at WOT than stock. After a while I installed headers that made it 50% louder again. The NXT sounded good but LTH will really wake it up.

The vibration I speak of is just the exhaust note it's not bad just different. I think I was just expecting something different.

Did you hear them yourself before you bought them?

Yeah,, sometimes there is an "adjustment period",that is YOU getting used to it,,,especially when you only heard it on a video clip!! One nice thing,,exhaust is an easy bolt on process,,and if you decide you don't like it,,you can go to parts for sale and post a want to trade and try something else!! There is often someone that thinks theirs is to loud or too quiet that would be glad to trade or buy yours!!
