    Default exhaust noise

    just recently fitted a whole lukey exhaust system to my vt bar the cat converter but after the extractors went on i noticed it makes a sort of tinny noise wen the revs are coming down. has any1 had this problem before.
    i've heard it may just be the pipes or have i blown the arse outta my cat?

    Thanks for the help

    give the exhaust some time to 'break in'. New mufflers and pipes need to carbon up before you get the best sound out of them.

    I just fitted a new muffler to my car, sounds ok atm, but i know it will get better with age...just like a Pale Ale! lol
