2017 S550 Bone Stock except for below.

So let me start this with a "dear God what have I done".

Had some Outlaws installed this morning, 3 inch catbacks with x pipe and outlaw mufflers.

I expected them to be loud, but the resonance within the cabin is insane. It feels like there is a pressure bubble when the car drones (which was expected) that honestly makes me feel like I am being punched in the earhole.

Now I had some droning flowmaster mufflers on an 06 GT I used to own (stock mid pipe), but there was nowhere near the cabin noise that there is on these.

I guess my main question is how to I ensure that the install was done correctly? Should the pressure be coming back that hard into the passenger compartment? This install did require a cutting of the factory pipes, could there have been an issue with that?

Also, is there a break in period with these....I mean should I expect them to mellow out after a couple of hundred miles?

In all fairness, I was warned, but nowhere did anyone mention anything about increased cabin pressure with this catback system, guess I'm just trying to figure out if this is how there are.

It sounds to me like you got exactly what you were after.

No break-in period will change the drone.

That is what I am thinking as well.
