WAR CRUNK

Well, I ordered my MS duel canister catback exhaust from finishline performance, Started it up( first thing i noticed was that there was no sound diffrence from stock) So, I said in my head, It needs to break in or somthing, Took it for a test drive. Absoluetly no sound diffrence, A few of my buddys have the same exhasut and theres are alot louder than the one i have. Is there anything wrong here? Anyhelp? And I am not exagerating about the sound. There is no diffrence from the stock one. Any help is apreciated.

Thanks sean.

what am i missing here.

and what is with multiple people on this forum making threads calling the MS exhaust a "duel" exhaust. nothing against you war crunk, it just happens to be the fourth or fifth thread with the same misspelling.

did you miss it the first time i wrote it??? take it out and look at it. or inside it..

have you seen a clog before? and yes bad gas mileage would be a symptom..

or are you just going to assume it is clogged and buy a midpipe?

btw, you need to edit your topic to i am not sure what is wrong, or what i am doing.

well, here is my update, My fellow breatherans( you guys suggested to check the cat) Well i checked the cat, and the **** was CLOGGED. You shoulda seen the **** coming outa there. I didnt belive it cuz i called my dealer and they checked it on a recal about a year or two ago. Well, It was clogged and now its a free flow cat haha the exhaust sounds really good and loud!

You should have taken it to the dealer. CAT is free for the first 100k miles.
