does the y-pipe get quieter as it breaks in?

 

I think your trippin Ive heard of mufflers getting louder in time but the y-pipe

 

its pretty loud now, just got it installed today, hopin it gets quieter soon lol

 

no it doesnt break in. just wait till your entire exhaust sounds rough then another noise won't be a concern.

 

oh great lol

 

 

Your exhaust isn't going to get any quieter unless you take it off.

 

The y-pipe isn't suppose to be much louder than stock at all. Only very slightly more undercar noise, and a little more muffler noise at the rear. My intake is easily 10x louder. You sure you don't have an exhaust leak?

 

its not ALOT louder but i can def hear it its like a rumble

 

yeah a little rumble sounds about right. trust me, you'll get used to it.

 

4th gen intakes are much louder than the 5th gen intakes.

 

the intake is definately loud i dont disagree...... the y pipe ownz i was pulling so damn hard on a mustang gt today, and as i passed him i looked over and he was all

 

Mine is damn quiet, Cattman makes a super good product though. I've heard that opening it up after the Y is what adds to your loudness hence me not doing that

 

opening it up after the y? like getting on the throttle?

 

I think he means it like getting a cat-back and opening up the exaust flow. I recently had a local shop bend me a 2.5" catback with a 2k2 muffler on the end, and I'm very happy with it. I'ts got a little more rumble than just a y-pipe, but still not really noticible until you romp on it.

 

I rode in a fellow org. member's car today with a budget y and it is not loud at all. fast tho

 

oh yah the power difference is sick, i guess its not that loud really, just all in my head, i was grinning from ear to ear while i was driving today, and taking that mustang for a walk was great

 

Maybe the loudness is the result of Ypiping on a budget? Just a thought
