Can't hear my beautiful CAI anymore!

Ever since I put in my catback duals & Y-pipe I can't hear the amazing sound of the CAI under any kind of acceleration.

When I start the car the exhaust is extremely nice and deep, and I can still hear the CAI hissing from the front, but fahgetaboutit when I start moving. I love the exhaust but DAMN I miss that unique CAI sound.

Does anyone else have this problem ? I mean I did go all out on the exhaust but damn.

Yes, I did too. Put on a Greddy Cat-back and that was the end of the CAI noise. Ended up taking the Greddy off after 24 hrs.

I think he's over-doing it a bit....I have yet to hear an exhaust on a maxima that will drown out the sound on an intake.....I can't hear my A'PEXi WS AT ALL when I floor the car....all intake...

my exhaust resonates in the cabin nicely , but when i floor it the exhaust seems to die out and the intake seems to come in, the one thing ive noticed though is my intake seems to have a plasticky rattle when its gettin close to the redline like its vibrating the wheel well or sompin, anyone else?

My popcharger makes that noise. Its annoying cause its too high pitched.

I bet Thomas aka SXR7 probably has the loudest exhaust. He doesn't even have any mufflers. When I was replacing my muffler, I had to run to the store to get some bolts without any muffler on. Man...it was like driving a NASCAR.

Was it pretty high pitched ? Buzzy ?

My exhaust system is deep at idle, and also very deep when between 1-2k rpms, especially in 2nd gear. But when I give it some gas it gets high pitched. Almost like a....RICEBOY

I guess all maximas have this problem huh ? I guess our engine is just too small Becuase my setup is probubly anti-rice. 2.5" B-Pipe, Flomasters V-Force muffler, 2"5 dual piping, 2.5" Y-pipe, no pre-muffler.

I don't know what went wrong. Anyone ?
