Exhaust Question

I was just recently given a "weld on can" that i put on my max. One thing that i noticed was that is was extreamly loud from 1000 rpm-3000rpm. From 3-5 my stillen intake was much louder that the exhaust and from 5-the redline the exhaust was nice and loud again (over the noise of the intake) i have a 97 gle with a y-pipe stillen ram air intake and an underdrive pulley.

so you had a new muffler put on and arent satisfied with the sound? if thats the case then get a new muffler, or catback (if you can afford and want it)

no im definatly satisfied with the sound i was just wondering why it does that. i mean an exhaust is an exhaust. if it dosent have the resenating qualities as a stock muffler then how can it change the loudness of the exhaust, thats my question

you can change the loudness by having resonators added, next step after that would be getting another exhaust, or resonated B-pipe if you dont have one.
