Budget Y, CM test pipe installed

Had them both installed yesterday, install went very smooth. Had a shop do it. Paid $90 bucks but $12 of that was for a tire rotation. First time the car was started I noticed a slightly deeper exaust tone even with my stock canister. There is definitely a hissing though, not extremely loud but it is there, only under medium to heavy throttle. Yesterday it was more of a cricket sound, and this morning it sounded more like the ever famous bees in the can sound. Oh well.

Butt Dyno- definitely apparent in the upper RPM range like 3K on. Especially through second (Im auto). Im very happy with it and Im sure I will be happier as my ECU adjusts.

I didn't reset my ECU, should I or should I let it do it on its own?

What do you guys think of the noise? Expected or do you think its a connection somewhere?

Undo the ground for a while. Not sure if it works, but some of the guys around here swear that it does. I have the exact same setup that you do, and I only get the bees in the can sound when I let off the gas after a WOT run. Otherwise it's quiet.
