Question about exhaust sound....
Well, I had a custom catback made up for my car and it went together with out a hitch. the only thing was a few small holes in the welds where exhaust was leaking through. Sealed the couple I found, but here is my problem. To me anyway, it sounds like I get a deep, great sounding not out of the drivers side tip, and a more garbled crap sounding note out of the pass side tip. Anyone have this problem? I never noticd this with the crossflow on my old 86. Is something damaged? More exhaust leaks? Just the design, with more sound coming out one side? Thanks fellas

I have a highflow cat with a 3" int pipe, to a flowmaster 80 series, to 3" tailpipes to 3.5" slashcuts. Its weird, people told me that one would always be louder than the other, but I never noticed this in a similar setup on my old 86. Now I do and its not that big of a deal, but it just sounds better out of one tip.
