Do you have the stock cats? Am i reading it right that you just deleted the resonator and mufflers with an Xpipe. The stock l99 resonater gives the car a deeper tone.... the xpipe gives it more of a higher pitched sound.

No, he was typing from his car...wanted to make sure we could hear him. lol.

J/K

Get rid of the stock cats. They're about the only thing quieting the exhaust. Is the custom stuff 2.5" or 3"? That will make a difference as well.

Yeah when I did cat deletes and retained my stock muffs, it was very healthy sounding. The stock mufflers aren't restrictive at all and actually sound pretty damn good with no cats ahead of them.
