All with Cattman ypipes and full exhaust !!

I have a 2001 AE and I recently went with a cattman y, random cat, cattmnbpipe and stillen rear section, and if you ask me, the sound is loud! Does it need a breakin period or is my car going to extremely loud all the time. Is their a way to make it softer?
any suggestion? Please help!

I would say if anything it would get louder as time passes - packing in the muffler could go, etc.

Hehe get used to it dude. I hear the Stillen rear section is louder than the Cattman, but I've never actually heard the Stillen. I like the sound of my car. Nice and deep and gets a lot of attention. At least you dont have a test pipe in place of the RT cat....that wouldnt help much...

Well you've learned your first tactical lesson here, erbaha. It's better to do a lot of research BEFORE you make purchase decisions. And if you're not sure how something is going to work out, ask. There's a wealth of information around here. Believe me, somebody else probably tried whatever you're thinking about doing and they'll be happy to let you know what happened.

Now to make a long story short, reinstall your OEM muffler and you'll be fine. Believe me, you won't be the first person to do that with an exhaust setup like yours nor will you be the last.
