I just got my catback exhaust today sounds great. Its a 2 1/2 Inch with Mangaflow( i think thats the name) with streight thou mendral bent with a Standard round chrome tip ( even thou i asked serval times for oval)

What im asking is that i get the sound of the exhaust at low and mid range i cant hear it at all at higher rpms, and its fully silent at idle (I supected such)
Is this normal behaviour, btw this is without extractors.

VS SS 5speed (project) VN exec v6 (daily)
i got a mild steel system from the catback with a twin 3" chrome tip
$300 all up (tip was $100) lol

sounds good when accelerating and my idle is kinda rough so it sounds fair good.
was wondering if a hiflow cat would make much difference to note or perfomance wise??
