Is this Noise louder, deeper or more throaty sounding ?

Can u hear it more on Normal acceleration or at a steady speed ?

I want to get one for mine, but NOT if it's louder than stock.

I don't Want to add more noise as my cat & filter removal made Exessive Noise :-(

It's really only during a heavier acceleration. Don't notice any difference at normal acceleration, idle or cruising speeds.

Best explanation is a slightly throatier sound.

I just used an 12 inch extension & swivel. No need to remove the battery.

yes ,probably could have done that ......if I could have found the swivel in time ! had a helluva time finding anything but a sunburn! garage not big enuf!
all went well need to do these things more often reminds me how easy it is to lose track of tools,took it out on the road and was happy with the response off a dead stop nothing big, just better feel at the pedal. a little oil in the hose ,and surely a tight fit but wow that factory hose had a 2nd pinch you don't see till it is out of the eng.bay .If this reduces my EGT's by 30-50 deg. I'll be happy ,it has to help w/ MPG's ? we will see, glad it is done. sorry no pix had a bad time trying to figure out how and said screw it

Well I do notice a better acceleration response .feels like it is more steady gaining speed without having to step harder on the pedal ,I tend to drive like fuel is expensive MOST of the time. Definitely feel it when you get into the pedal deliberately very happy with this mod
