Since installing my catted X and getting the leak i had fixed where it met the catback, i'm still getting used to the new note.

Aside from the intense drone, i hear what sounds like echoes from the ignition at WOT. almost like a non-hollow detonation sound, but consistent with the engine. it's hard to explain but i cant tell is this is normal or if i have a leak. i dont think its a leak, as i tightened it the best i could, but wanted to make sure.

maybe this is how higher-flowing pipes sound

its not bad, i kinda like it though, but is it normal? i know its vague. thx.

From my experience, exhaust leaks sound more raspy/hissing. You are probably just not used to it.
